World Literacy Day

Below is a video from Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO.  The video is from World Literacy Day in 2010 and focuses on the importance of increasing literacy rates, especially among women and young girls.


Also, find a message from Bokova from World Literacy Day 2011:  http://www.uis.unesco.org/literacy/Documents/08-09%20Message%20International%20Literacy%20Day.pdf
In this message, she emphasizes the connections between literacy and peace.
