Girl's Education

I’m reading a book called Three Cups of Tea, written by David Oliver Relin and Greg Mortenson and it is about Greg Mortenson. Greg built schools across the most remote regions of Pakistan and his schools let girls get an education. In the book he shows that in the Middle East lots of people think women should not be educated even though it says that they should in the Koran. While on a plane Greg sees a group of teenage Islamic girls dressed in their best clothes being herded around by men, those girls where sold to men to be prostitutes. Uneducated girls that were very beautiful were sold from their families and taken across the Middle East to have sex for money and then give the money to their masters. If the girls tried to run away, keep some of the money, or refused to have sex their punishments were either to be beaten or killed, even though lots of the girls died from severe beatings. Lots of these girls will or now have sexually transmitted diseases or have died from the man beating them during the sex. I think that all American girls who have or are getting their education should be thankful for their education and be sorry for the girls who where victims of this because they have no education.
