Why Girls’ Education
Girl Rising is working to create a world where all girls learn, rise, and thrive. Education is a basic human right. Access to quality education lifts people out of poverty, levels inequities and builds a more sustainable world. But around the world 129 million girls are out of school and millions more have access only to subpar education due to gender-related barriers such as forced marriage, trafficking, the burden of domestic work, gender-based violence, and gender discrimination. Girl Rising is working to right this wrong.
