Education is every girl’s RIGHT. Yet, 110 million girls will remain out of school at the current rate of progress. 🔴 32% of women aged 15 to 24 were not in education, employment or training, compared to 15% of young men in 2022. The gaps were largest in Central and Southern Asia. Check the 2023 Gender Snapshot report for the facts 👉 https://lnkd.in/dEDAwHJs #InternationalDayofEducation

#RightToEducation transcends gender distinctions. Regrettably, many girls worldwide confront formidable obstacles hindering their access to education. Societal norms, economic disparities, and cultural biases perpetuate this disparity. Addressing these challenges is crucial for fostering a more equitable society. By dismantling barriers to education, we empower girls to contribute meaningfully to their communities and beyond. Education is not just a privilege; it's a fundamental human right that should be accessible to everyone. Let's advocate for change, challenge stereotypes, and work towards a world where every girl has the opportunity to pursue education without hindrance. 📚🌐 #EducationForAll #GenderEquality #EmpowerGirls #HumanRightsInAction

About the boy - a key focal point for this month's Neuron, based on insights from Beano Brain's qualitative Trendspotter panel. One of our articles delves into how boys experience the education system where we see clear differences between boys and girls. The insights reveal that school can be a challenge for boys on multiple fronts and that the system doesn't always celebrate a child's individuality or needs. As a sister to three brothers, these insights ring true and begs the question of how we can better support boys in society as a whole.

Right to Education

Education belongs to all human creatures.

Gender-equitable education systems empower both girls and boys, promoting essential life skills like self-management, communication, negotiation, and critical thinking. These systems help close skills gaps that perpetuate pay gaps and foster prosperity for entire countries. 🌍 By focusing on gender equity, we can reduce school-related gender-based violence and harmful practices like child marriage and female genital mutilation. An education free from negative gender norms benefits boys too. In many countries, harmful norms around masculinity can lead to disengagement from school, child labour, gang violence, and recruitment into armed groups. Boys often drop out of secondary school to earn an income, believing the curriculum isn't relevant to work opportunities. Creating gender-equitable education systems helps keep both girls and boys in school, building a brighter, more prosperous future for all. 🌟 #GenderEquity #EducationForAll #FreedomTree
