In Asia: Weekly Insight and Features from Asia

Don’t tell her she can’t be a doctor, a scientist, a journalist, a pilot, an urban planner, or a stock broker. Tell her she can. So says a stunning new video produced by The Asia Foundation.

For every “like” the video gets on Facebook through the end of 2010, (up to $15,000) the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ will donate $1 to our efforts to educate girls in Asia.

Since 1954, The Asia Foundation has been committed to girls’ education as the single most effective way to empower girls and women.
