About this event
This public event celebrates Every Last Girl: A Journey to Educate India's Forgotten Daughters , a book by Safeena Husain. In conversation with Stephan Chambers, she will discuss the journey of Educate Girls and its mission to find and empower every girl in India. There are millions of girls in India whose futures are shaped before they are even born. They are the ones most likely to be left behind by poverty, patriarchy, early marriage, and restrictive social norms. At Educate Girls, this often unwanted girl is known as Antimbala—the “last girl.” Educate Girls’ mission is to get that girl back into school. What began in a handful of villages has grown into a community-led movement that has reached more than 31,500 villages and helped over 2.2 million girls access education. Join Safeena Husain—LSE alumna and recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from the School — for a conversation on girls’ education, community-led change, and the challenge of designing solutions at scale. The discussion will explore what it takes to reach the ‘last girl’ and what becomes possible when communities come together to transform the futures of their daughter

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
