Almost every girl has faced inequality on a daily basis. Hearing comments like, "Be back home before 8pm" or "Is this really appropriate to wear?" from families, aunties and everyone else. Being blamed for something that was entirely out of her hand, etc.
Child marriage was banned in India in 1929, yet in some rural areas in India child marriages were still being carried out. Girl's were being brought up only to be taught to cook food, clean the house and make peace in the family. So many government schools for girl's have been established. Girl's are receiving the education they need, and deserve. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families. Girls' education strengthens economies and reduces inequality.
Even after all this progress in the world, girl's are disadvantaged when it comes ro getting an education. Cultural bias, gender discrimination and safety reasons discourage girl's from getting an education. Right now, there are almost 98 million girl's who are not receiving an education.
Barriers to girls' education – like poverty, child marriage and gender-based violence – vary among countries and communities. Poor families often favour boys when investing in education. In some places, schools do not meet the safety, hygiene or sanitation needs of girls.
Both individuals and countries benefit from girls' education. Better educated women tend to be more informed about nutrition and healthcare, have fewer children, and lead a happy life.
