#TEDxSaiGon #TEDxSaiGonStudio #IdeasWorthSpreading #VUS #WomenRights #CivilRights Learning about early marriage broke my heart - realizing girls my age are stripped of the right to choose their own future. While I am blessed to be asked, 'What do you want?', many others are forced to abandon their education.

I come to TEDxSaiGon Studio with a heartfelt reminder for parents: ask your children that simple question, 'What do you want?', and truly listen. Through every challenge I've overcome, I have found the strength to advocate for every girl's right to dream. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
