“Education also equips women to face the most dramatic climatic changes. A 2013 study found that educating girls “is the single most important social and economic factor associated with a reduction in vulnerability to natural disasters.”

“Eu era uma criança. Os meus amigos eram crianças. Todos nós era como se tivéssemos afinal só dezasseis anos ainda. E não seria que quase todos os homens continuavam assim? Que nenhum crescia para fora de si mesmo? E não era isso que o mundo inteiro desejava que continuássemos a ser? Não seria que toda a gente tinha medo de dar-se, porque tinham todos medo de perder o pouco que tinham? Não seria que toda a gente apenas se emprestava como quem empresta dinheiro a juros?”
― Jorge de Sena, Sinais de Fogo
