Girl Child Education

The creation of this agency is centered on one goal, to promote gender equality around the world. The key in the mission is the promotion of gender equality, this is not only in the U.S., but all over the world; this can best explain why so many may be confused.

“A girl on planet earth has a one in four chance of being born into poverty.” (Martin Ravalion and Shaohua Chen) Girls who are born into poverty are less likely to go to school, but they can rise above that and go to school if they had the opportunity. They don’t have the opportunity due to many reasons whether the family can’t afford it so they send their son, or they are not allowed to be educated. The enrollment gap between boys and girls who are enrolled in school is abound. Many intrepid people including Malala Yousafzai and Suma are working to get girls an education and/or out of poverty. If girls had the chance to be educated they would make a big impact on their countries by playing a role in the economy, reduce the amount of girls

Many girls still face barriers to education, including a lack of teachers, poor schools, and even threats of violence. Almost certainly the use of innovative non governmental organization’s(NGO’s) will definitely be prevalent in coming up with a solution, these may include: ‘Teachers Without Borders”, “Room to Read”, “Pratham”, and many others like them. Teachers Without Borders’ for example, is an organization that utilizes online studies, community workshops, and many other approaches to providing information to communities where providing teachers or even safe schools is difficult. Room to Read works to establish libraries, providing books in the native language of the students they reach out to and emphasize the need for a proper understanding of language and grammar. Pratham, another helpful NGO, founded in India has since spread to other countries to help underprivileged learners have access to primary education. As to the matter of contraceptives, there are many NGO’s that do provide it, in fact, the UN even has its own family planning fund that works to provide the necessary money to go into communities and distribute these contraceptives. Governments that do want

Throughout history it is seen that as our society has grown, there has been a great deal of emphasis placed on education. Once people are better educated, one tends to succeed more efficiently at our goals and gain a better understanding of the earth’s environment and ecosystems. However, depending on who a person’s background, he/she may be denied the opportunities to learn and experience the life they are given. That is the case for many bright and capable young women around the world who are declined their opportunity of education due to narrow minded thinking. The lack of education for girls is a serious problem that needs to be addressed with better solutions such as creating more awareness, fundraising, and supporting girls to fight for their education; needless to say, these solutions must be implemented to help decrease the drastic numbers of uneducated girls around the world.

Strangely enough, women are the first in my community to underestimate the value of education as far as girls and women are concerned. The most common place is that girls are made for marriage and therefore do not need that much school education. When a girl is not doing well at school, their moms are the first to decide their withdrawal from school and to send them to more rewarding tasks like selling at the market for instance. Getting mothers understand the value of education, and getting them influence positively their daughters are a key factors in the success of such an endeavor. The first step would be to raise a team of benevolent people gained to the cause of girls’ education. These will be found among my friends who in turn will attract their own friends until we have enough people to start working. The second step would be to set up an awareness campaign to explain the purpose and the benefits of girls’ school education which will target firstly mothers and their daughters, then fathers and men in general. I imagine it as a door to door campaign where a team of volunteers will meet people in their houses and churches, and speak to them. A census of the out of school girls in the area will be the third step. This will be in order to evaluate the beneficiaries of the action and the level of needs. The fourth step would be to contact the local schools, especially those ran by religious organizations who by definition are prone to help the poor. Special agreements would be signed between my organization and the religious so that they grant discounts in the tuition fees for each girl that my organization will send them; this would work like a partnership. The fifth and last step would be to seek financial resources in order to assist the girls. This would be achieved at two levels: locally with the involvement of the community and the

“When Girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous.” First Lady Michelle Obama stated that in one of her exceptional speeches on education rights in her ‘Let Girls Learn’ campaign. In such a world where modernization has come so far, it seems ridiculous that preaching for a basic right, such as education for half of the world’s population is still an ongoing issue struggling to meet its goals. The world strives to move forward in full motion but fails to acknowledge that we will never reach the full potential of success unless all lives are given an opportunity for education. Two-thirds of the 774 million illiterate people in the world are women (EFA GMR, 2013). Slow education progress for children today will have

There are not many places in the world where women or girls are not allowed to attend school currently but is still an issue in poorer countries such as Somalia, India, and Niger. According to the World Education Blog, in Somalia, 95 percent of the poorest females aged from seven to sixteen have never been to school and the average years of education for a female between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two is 0.3 years. Unfortunately, the right to education is not the only issue they have to deal with. Gender discrimination also plays a huge role in their educational struggles. According to a survey publication from the Global Campaign for Education, “Gender Discrimination in Education”, one in ten primary school girls reported being unhappy being a girl. It was also reported that that number doubled to every one in five once they reached secondary school. Further along the the survey stated that In comparison to boys, only one percent in primary school and three percent in secondary school reported being unhappy as a boy. The reasons that these girls reported for their

The following organizations/programs and businesses are addressing the problem of lack of educational advancement and lack of empowerment and positive images by improving the self-image and/or physical/mental health of young girls from marginalized or under resourced communities in various locations through opportunities that engage them in critical resources that will propel them to succeed and spark positive change. My social venture is distinguished in that it proves an educational platform through a comic book, curriculum

Many children in second and third world countries need any small amount of money to survive everyday life. For

Today, I stand here to express my concerns about nearly 130 million girls who do not have the opportunity to receive an education. As we all know, despite much advancements taken towards achieving gender equality in developing countries, there are still numerous girls, who don’t have access to quality education. Countless barriers stand in the way of girls’ education, however, gender norms seem to be the major. Due to this, girls don’t have the right set of circumstances to attend school, as their contributions at home are valued more than their education. I am just one girl, who was nearly killed for speaking up for girls’ education. Yet, in several developing nations, millions of women remain suffering from the terrible consequences of standing up to achieve their goal of education. Just because girls are focused to be independent to fight for themselves, are you automatically compelled to not take action on something you understand is wrong? NO. It is evident that we must help women's right to education. So, today I, Malala, stand here, to speak for not myself, but for those, whose voices cannot be heard.

Girls can be abused in their society daily, with an education, we can cut down the amount of, sexual harassment, and bought marriages. Girls with no education are three times as likely to marry by 18 as those with a secondary or higher education. Over 60% of child brides in developing countries have had no formal education. The time between the primary

I was shocked about was the number of women that weren’t given the chance that men are to receive a decent education. I would assume that families would want what is best for their own children, including the girls. Just speaking broadly, we need to not just teach one group of people to change the world. We need to teacher all that are willing to learn. In my times going into the school, the children who don’t have much at home seem to be the ones who are willing to work harder than the ones that are given everything and don’t feel the need to work as hard. Once I started to get into the swing of things in this course, I found myself questioning my outside experiences when I was in Peru and Zambia. During both trips I went to schools and I was helping teach the students English. It wasn’t until now that I realized that the ratio’s between girls and boys was off. There were more boys going to the schools and when my groups would drive by the houses, I would see the girls there doing simple chores and looking after their younger

Gender continues to play an important role in education.The education of women was discouraged for a long time throughout the world.They are subject to severe forms of discrimination in the provision of educational facilities.Similarly being a female in India and the gender roles associated with it can act as a hindrance to her education.(Kaur,2013).

The refusal of education to any girl child denies them their general right, denies them the knowledge and skills, which are important for their advancement in todays world.

“ I ask you all so earnestly to open girl’s schools in every village and try to uplift them. If the Conditions of women are raised, then their children will, by their noble actions, glorify the name of the Country. “ —Swami Vivekananda
