SHE BELONGS IN SCHOOL
In the developing world, education is the best way for her to escape the vicious cycle of childhood marriage, pre-teen pregnancy and domestic abuse. When she goes to school, she lives a healthier life, earns more, and makes her community stronger. Educated girls like her are crucial to erasing global poverty and minimizing conflict, and the world needs them now, more than ever!
WHEN SHE GOES TO SCHOOL
AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN
TO HER
School gives her the critical thinking needed to form informed opinions, and the confidence to voice them when it counts. If she completes middle school, she is 4 times less likely to get married off as a child! Her children are twice as likely to live past the age of 5, while she is 3 times more likely to survive childbirth.
TO HER COMMUNITY
She will earn twice as much and invest 90% of it back into her family. She will send her daughters to school and act as the role-model that she never had. She, and her classmates, will decrease the likelihood of alcoholism and domestic abuse in her village. They will make her community more tolerant and open-minded.
TO THE WORLD
When women learn, they are more likely to earn. And their earnings, according to the World Bank, is a key to ending global poverty. They reduce the risk of conflict and war, by 50%, according to the Malala fund. The Brookings institute thinks educating girls is one of the most effective ways to fight climate change.
