Emily Curtin, Pennsylvania

What if teenagers felt they had a voice in the future of our country? This election season, the Student Reporting Labs network of more than 100 schools across the country asked middle and high school students to talk to the next president about the issues they feel need to be addressed.

Equality for women remains one of the greatest human rights challenge. Emily Curtin wants the next president to put women’s rights at the forefront.
