Education is not a privilege. It is a human right, “Together We Can” protect and give this basic human right for each girl in this world.

Donate today to keep girls learning during and after the global crisis.

Why Girls Education Matters:

Girls’ education goes beyond getting girls into school. It is also about ensuring that girls learn and feel safe while in school; have the opportunity to complete all levels of education acquiring the knowledge and skills to compete in the labor market; learn the socio-emotional and life skills necessary to navigate and adapt to a changing world; make decisions about their own lives; and contribute to their communities and the world.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT

Girls’ education is a strategic development priority. Better educated women tend to be more informed about nutrition and healthcare, have fewer children, marry at a later age, and their children are usually healthier, should they choose to become mothers. They are more likely to participate in the formal labor market and earn higher incomes. All these factors combined can help lift households, communities, and countries out of poverty.

UNESCO ESTIMATION

According to UNESCO estimates, around the world, 132 million girls are out of school, including 34.3 million of primary school age, 30 million of lower secondary school age, and 67.4 million of upper-secondary school age. In countries affected by conflict, girls are more than twice as likely to be out of school than girls living in non-affected countries. And in many countries, among girls who do enter primary school, only a small portion will reach and far fewer will complete secondary school. Why are more than 132 million girls out of school? Why more than 67 million of girls cannot complete their upper-secondary school? Why cannot girls get quality education when “Right to Education” is a fundamental human right.
