| 0:00.0 | This episode of The Guilty Feminist is brought to you by Global Children's Charity Plan International UK and their winter appeal. |
| 0:08.2 | When I was a little girl, I loved going to school and learning. |
| 0:12.6 | And of course, school isn't always fun, but I really, really loved reading at home and doing my own little projects at home and creating stories and all sorts of |
| 0:23.2 | things that I now do for a living. I find it absolutely heartbreaking that so many girls around the |
| 0:28.6 | world don't get the same opportunity. Did you know that 40% of girls globally don't finish |
| 0:34.9 | secondary school? For millions of girls, poverty, war and discrimination |
| 0:39.4 | stand in the way of their right to learn. But despite the odds, girls are determined to stay in |
| 0:45.1 | school. They're defying the pressures of early marriage, sheltering from bombs to keep reading, |
| 0:51.0 | and going to class hungry just to get an education, wouldn't it break your heart? |
| 0:56.5 | That's why Plan International UK is working to give every girl a chance to learn whatever |
| 1:03.3 | challenges they face, but they can't do it alone. Together we can match girls' determination and create |
| 1:09.9 | change so that every girl can take a seat in the classroom and stay there whatever the odds. |
| 1:16.4 | They work together with children, local communities, partners and supporters like you who believe a better future is possible. |
| 1:24.1 | With recent world events, I really couldn't think of a better course to support, and I am definitely |
| 1:32.4 | donating. Want to know how you can support? Search Plan International UK to find out how you can |
| 1:38.7 | help, because nothing changes the odds for a girl like an education does. This episode of The Guilty Feminist is brought to you by Ancestry. |
| 1:48.1 | As many of you may know, I'm adopted, and some years ago, I found my biological family. |
| 1:53.9 | Now, I did it the old-fashioned way with Facebook and Pinterest searches, but my very first |
| 1:58.2 | clue was through ancestry. |
| 2:01.5 | Now, this is a whole other level now. |
| 2:04.5 | Ancestry DNA offers a whole new approach to discovering the unique combination of ethnicities |
| 2:09.5 | that make up your genetic heritage. |
