Every child has a right to equal educational opportunities. Women constitute more than 60% of the worlds population which ought to place them as pacesetters in education. Sadly, in some countries, girl-child education is neglected due to cultural beliefs. Women are seen as only relevant in the kitchen and for procreation purpose.
History has proven that If you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a nation.
Educating a woman brings about self-esteem and confidence. It also promotes active participation in her society. Women need to be more involved in educational policy decision making process.
We are directly supporting millions of girls to get the education they need to transform their lives and secure their futures. This means working to ensure free and equal access to quality, safe education for all girls, including in areas affected by emergencies.
Every Indian needs to support charities invested in helping the girl child become a capable and proactive woman.
