Girls’ rights are being limited around the world. Breaking boundaries and pursuing freedom takes courage. Who decides what happens to girls’ bodies and lives, and how can we help them achieve freedom?

In the interview, equity specialist Adina Nivukoski and child protection specialist David Krop share examples of girls’ right to grow in peace, everyday challenges, and the freedom to make their own choices in rural Kenya and in Finland. The interviewer is journalist, host, and writer Laura Friman.
