"The letter released Sunday states that some 62 million girls around the world are denied the right to education, 500 million women can't read and 155 countries have laws that discriminate against women.
'Nowhere on earth do women have as many opportunities as men. Nowhere,' the letter states. 'The fight for gender equality is global.'
'The letter comes a few days before International Women's Day, which is Tuesday. It calls on leaders to help girls and women fight HIV and malnutrition and support female economic empowerment.'"~ http://www.usnews.com/news/entertainment/articles/2016-03-06/celebrities-urge-world-leaders-to-fight-for-girls-and-women
