MICHELLE OBAMA ENCOURAGES YOUNG AFRICANS TO SUPPORT WOMEND RIGHT

U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, in speaking at the Young Africans Leaders Initiative program Wednesday, urged attendees to advocate for women's rights in their home countries.
Obama told the gathering that the issue of women's rights involves men as well.
"So to all the men, my brothers here today, I have a simple message. We need you to shake things up," Obama said.
She said women will play a crucial role in Africa's economic future.
“This is where Africa’s future lies - with those women-run businesses, with those girls attending university and with leaders like you who are making those dreams possible,"Michelle Obama said.
