Educating girls is the key to transforming society. When you educate a girl, you decrease domestic and local violent, plus decrease infant and maternal morbidity. An educated mother will have less children and she will make sure her children go to school and get better medical care. In the Koran it says "heaven is below the soles of your mother's feet". You can't get to heaven unless you obey your mother! Yes, of course educate boys, but the key to a civilized society is greater education of girls.
