Hello human rights advocates!

Did you know that Malala Day is being observed today? She just turned 17 years old. It’s unbelievable that she’s accomplished so much at such a young age. Today her remarks have been focused on the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, as she’s been traveling through Nigeria and focusing on the kidnapped Nigerian girls. Last year when she gave her speech at the UN General Assembly, she had much to say about education. Here are a few quotes that I particularly liked:

"One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world. Education is the only solution."

"We realize the importance of light when we see darkness. We realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced."

Today’s article focuses on the Hobby Lobby case that happened recently. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, which allowed them to deny their employees coverage on birth control, because it violated Hobby Lobby employer's “religious beliefs.” You can read more about the case here:
