"Education is something that allows a woman to be in a place where she can have access to so many opportunities which otherwise she would not get. When you are educated, you´re in a much better position to know about your rights, to know about the fact you can own for yourself, you can decide to marry later, along with that allows you to have opportunity to be financially independent," the activist says.
