Anbar is also strategic because there are a lot of Army Installations there have been air strikes but those air strikes have not reversed the momentum on the ground.

A heartbreaking choice she made. How this cancer patient is raising awareness about a persons right to die. And in our weekly segment a deeper look, the plight of young girls around the world, not being able to go to school, to being sold into slavery, well talk about what changes need to be done. Stay with us. Welcome back. Its saturday night and time to take a deeper look. Today is International Day of the girl child, a resolution adopt ed by the United Nations three years ago, marking this date each year to recognize girls rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world. Its fitting then that this years Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for work in protecting children worldwide. Here is Richelle Carey with more. Malala yousafzai and for the right of all children to education. At 17 years old, malala is the youngest recipient ever and found out in a way none of her predecessors had. I was in my chems class and we were studying about electrolysis. While sataurh deadly challenges so many children particularly girls, face around the world in getting something as basic as an education. Whether its the kidnapping of 200 school girls in nigeria by boko haram for daring to go to school or the shooting of malala by the Pakistani Taliban in 2012 as she rode the bus to class in swat valley. The act of going to school for girls around the world literally put their lives at risk. One child one teacher one book and one pen can change the world. Reporter getting a safe education is not the only challenge girls face. Honor killings still occur in many parts of the world. In june of this year a young woman was stoned to death in pakistan by her family for marrying the man she loved. How could they let this happen . I think this shows the society has become so sick in afghanistan, recently executed five men for gang rape. A United Nations report released in early october found i. S. I. L. Militants abducted up to 500 women and girls from a village in southern kurdistan in august and sent some of them to i. S. I. L. Fighters to be sex slaves. Women and girls are bought for price tags. The buyers are mostly youth from the local communities. Apparently i. S. I. L. Was selling these yazidi women to the youth as a means of inducing them to join their ranks. The actual awards are handed out on december 10th, the anniversary of Alfred Nobels death. Richelle carey, al jazeera. We have a lot to talk about. Pamela shipman the executive director of the novo foundation. Ladies great to have you with us. Thank you. I want to start with you ms. Gernholz. This is a real movement. I think it is. This is the third International Day of the girl so this is a real momentum around recognizing the needs of girls, particularly adolescent girls and trying to make sure that their rights are met. Ms. Shipman, you had a big smile on your case, how encouraging is it for the Nobel Committee to recognize the efforts . It is unbelievably inspiring. When we think about the situation for girls, what happened to malala three years ago, that could happen now. The condition for girls wh where they are vulnerable to violence all around the world, that has not change. We need to celebrate her leadership which is tremendous and also we need to resolve to fight even harder to end the violence that is plaguing girls all over the world including here in the u. S. You bring up a good point. How much has changed since the u. N. Resolution . It is a very short 00, three years, to see the massive change that is needed to make sure girls live lives that are safe that gives them the dignity they deserve. What the resolution has done is highlighted what the problem is. We need to see change on the ground change at a political level but as pamela said, there is a lot still to be done. What is the greatest inequalities facing girls . One of the biggest things is Child Marriage. Its been invisible for a long time but it affects 14 million women and girls, married as children and Child Marriage has a hugely detrimental impact on all aspects of woman and girls lives. It ends their education, often end with croppic Reproductive Health issues, Child Marriage and violence. A young woman in yemen we spoke to talked about dying twice, once when you actually die and once when you are married as a child. And i think for me that really summed up what the real issues around Child Marriage. How do you change that mindset . Because a lot of families its about religion. They would rather have the girls out of school and married young. You know i think one of the ways we change mind sets is actually listening to girls and listening to those who are most affected. I think girls often have the solutions themselves. If we ask them and listen to them they have the power to change societies. And i think we dont do that enough as we need to. I think another way we have to think about shifting attitudes is we have to put money towards these problems. When we look at the resources that are going towards the problems facing adolescent girls it is minute compared to the problem. Internationally, we look at International Development budgets and how much is going to girls . Less than 2 . I work in a foundation, 7 is going to women and girls, even though we know the problems are serious, they are totally linked to every other problem. If were interested in health education, we need to invest in girls and women also. That changes everything. 31 Million School age girls arent in school. And i think you know, one of the big challenges is, making sure that girls not only get to school but that they can stay in school. So weve made a lot of progress over the last 15 years with the Millenium Development goals in terms of gender parity, but as girls start to transition to secondary schools, you see issue around security, water and sanitation for girls who menstruate, who prevent girls from continuing their education and as pamela says it really does call for a Huge Investment in making sure that the conditions that allow girls to continue school are there. You know you said that you know its often about parents and its about religion. But something thats really i think important to realize, the work we did in afghanistan, you would expect there that parents spoke a lot about they didnt feel that their girls should be educated. But when we interviewed them what they did talk about is the risks girls face when they have to walk long distances to school. And the quality of education, they didnt feel it was worth exposing them to that risk, because it wasnt of high quality. Parents want to educate their girls but they need the commitment and support and Financial Assistance to allow them to do that. Then you have to tackle the conflict in various regions. Were going to continue the conversation in a moment. As we reported the conflict, is particularly hard on women and young girls. Now the u. N. Is warning that theres been a rise in the number of Child Marriages as a result. Here is nasreen al shamela in jordan. Isnt the syrian girls real name. She was 13 when she got married, now 16, and a child of her own. Her family was forced to marry her off, she had to drop out of school in the ninth grade. I advise any young girl to get an education and not take open the big responsibilities i have taken on as a child. I had my son so young, i didnt know what to do with him. When he cried and he got sick i had no clue. She was timid in the interview because her motherinlaw and husband were there. But in private she told us that her pregnancy was an excruciating experience for her. Child brides 15 to 17, if thats not enough the study also shows that almost half of these child maicialtiomarriages were to mens or more older. Ngo feels that, young marriages could put girls in abusive situations. 17 and divorced after a three year abusive marriage. Translator so many of us were crammed into a small space, and my ex husband became more violent. He would beat me and scream at me all the time. Some syr
