Women & Girls Empowerment
Girls’ education is also associated with improved health outcomes, such as accessing pre- and postnatal care, and with increased levels of freedom and mobility. Yet even before the pandemic shuttered schools across the globe, an estimated 130 million adolescent girls worldwide were out of school. Ensuring that girls become educated is a multifaceted undertaking, requiring community, school, and parental engagement and the ability to empower girls with the knowledge they need to keep themselves healthy and safe.
