If we seek better human rights and opportunities for all women, children and youth around the world, we can achieve change on a global level. Through access to education, basic needs, and support networks, we can enable young women to develop the necessary skills, coping mechanisms and motivation they need to create self-sustaining livelihoods for themselves, their families and communities as well as produce systematic change.
UNICEF estimates some 117 million school aged children world-wide do not attend school. In Sub-Saharan Africa 44-50 million children are not in school according to a UNESCO (2005) report. Attendance rates are lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa where only 57% of school aged girls attend school. Only 15% of these girls advance to Secondary School. Studies show that girls are less likely than boys to stay in primary and secondary school due to poverty, conflict, HIV/AIDS, early marriages, and sexual harassment.
