This tweet went around a couple of days ago.
The referenced email is a part of one of the many WikiLeaked email dumps we have been seeing over the past few months. In the email exchange, Clinton inquires about a young Yemeni girl she met at an awards show. She wanted to follow up with the girl.

Do you recall Noori Ali(?), the ten year old Yemeni girl who got herself divorced? I met her at the Glamour awards last year. There was a CNN story last few days about how unhappy she is, still living at home, not attending school and quite angry that her life is not better. Is there any way we can help her? Could we get her to the US for counselling and education?
The girl she was wondering about was Nujood Ali, who had had become the first child bride to be granted a divorce. The exchange between Clinton and Melanie Verveer, the first United States Ambaador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues at the U.S. State Department, is short.

Yes, I read the story yesterday and have been in touch with Glamour and our post. I think her family needs to be compensated in some way because they raise feeding her and transportation as expenses they can't meet in order to send her to school.

I hope there's something we can do. Let's discuss soon.
It’s nice to know that we might learn something more about these emails than which server they were on.
