In Brazil, traveling to school can mean risking your life. For the fourth episode of Get Schooled, The Girl Project sent filmmaker Alexandra Roxo to a crime-ridden area of Brazil to meet Karine, a brave 15-year-old who refuses to stay home, despite the danger. She’s supported by Girl Project partner Plan International. _____ “Being a woman is being a warrior. To not give up easily on things. To keep going forward. Not letting men boss us around. We play Peteca, a boys’ game. They say, ‘you’re not going to play because you’re a woman.’ And I say, ‘try and stop me.’ If I don’t insist, I don’t play.” _____ Tap the link in our bio for more of Karine's story. #TheGirlProject
