Girls' Child Education Challenges and Solutions in MENA Countries
Résumé
Worldwide, 132 million girls between 6 and 17 are out of school, more than 21 times the number of girls in school in France. However, every year at school allows a girl to increase her future income by 10% to 20%, which directly contributes to improving her country's growth. That is why, on the occasion of the International Day of the Girl on 11 October, we recall that education is a fundamental right for all children, Article 28 of the 1989 International Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified by 195 countries. A girl's education is recognized as one of the most powerful levers to escape poverty and be emancipated. It is a priority to take action so that millions of girls can go to school. Schooling a girl is about giving her confidence, making her own choices, having a job to build her future. This chapter explores girls' education challenges and solutions in MENA countries.
