Abstract
This article, published on April 13, 2015, profiles Mastercard Foundation Scholar Fatima Al-Ansar’s fight for girls’ education against extremists in Mali who fear the power of educated women. Incidents like the Chibok kidnappings remind us of the attacks on students. As founder of Tilwalte School, Al-Ansar addresses parental fear that caused many students to flee to Mauritania. She is committed to ensuring education, which stops early marriage and empowers girls to become independent citizens and peace ambassadors through initiatives like the Tilwalte Peace Network.
