attending school. She longed for education, but her family relied on her labour to
make ends meet. Maya knew her fundamental right to education was being
violated, but she felt powerless to change her circumstances.

Inspired by their passion, Maya found the courage to speak up. Together with the

access to education for all children. The government responded by enforcing laws
against child labour and establishing free schools in rural areas like Maya's village.
