Boys Missed During Michelle Obama's Let Girls Learn Visit to Cambodia

On Saturday, March 21, Michelle Obama visited Hun Sen Prasat Bakong High School in Siem Reap province to promote the education initiative "Let Girls Learn." She met with ten girls from the senior class to discuss the obstacles they face in acquiring a quality education and to encourage them to pursue their education despite the challenges and hardships they must overcome to make their dreams a reality. The equal education of girls is a noble and essential pursuit in helping girls and women around the world. Yet, there was a piece of the puzzle that was distinctly missing from the conversation at Bakong High School, namely, the role of boys in supporting girls in their fight for equality.
