I love the idea of ensuring girls have the skills to take control of their own lives, and build independence. An experiment to teach girls negotiation skills is trying to determine whether it can increase the likelihood that girls will find resources to fund their education. A great solution for a symptom, but I don't believe it addresses the root of the problem: why are girls denied the same rights as boys?
