WE ARE REMOVING BARRIERS TO GIRLS’ EDUCATION
WE ARE REMOVING BARRIERS TO GIRLS’ EDUCATION
Around the world, 129 million girls are out of school due to reasons like poverty, child marriage and gender-based violence. In some places, schools do not meet the safety, hygiene nor sanitation needs of girls. In others, because of inequitable teaching practices where boys are favoured, gender gaps in learning and skills development occur. UNICEF works with communities, governments and partners to remove barriers to girls’ education and promote gender equality in education, even in the most challenging settings.
