Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan is donating tens of thousands of pounds to our Because I am a Girl campaign in India. Our campaign aims to support four million girls to stay in education and fulfil their potential. At least one in five adolescent girls around the world is denied an education because of poverty, conflict and discrimination. Every day, girls are taken out of school and forced into work, or married off to strangers where they risk isolation and abuse. Missing out on school can mark the end of a girl having any choice over her own future.
“I have always believed there is no difference between a male and a female child,” says Amitabh. “I have a son and daughter and whatever little we have will be equally divided.”
