Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bipartisan legislation that
directs the State Department and USAID to support programs and educate
displaced children, with a special focus on girls. When you look at the horrors of the world, from South Sudan to Burma,
to Syria, think about the fact that there are 55 million displaced
children, 28 million refugee children that have been uprooted from
their homes due to violence and poverty, and making up half of all the
refugees. Here is the thing. What happens when a young person has no hope, no
education, no future potential of a good
job to one day take care of their family?
