Selmor Mtukudzi: 'Once a woman is empowered, the whole nation is empowered'

Musician, ONE activist and women's rights leader Selmor Mtukudz visited Canada on International Women's day to talk with MPs about the importance of girls education and the challenges they face worldwide. According to Selmor, education is the closest thing we have to end extreme poverty and yet 130 million girls around the world are currently without access to education. She spoke with MPs about why the government should double the development budget from $0.02 CAD/person to $0.04 CAD/person, in order to prioritize girls’ education.
