Challenges in girl child education

  • Education Expense: Due to increased financial constraints many parents opt to educate only their sons instead of their daughters. In many cases, children drop out of school and work to supplement the family income.
  • Household Chores: Many girls are denied an education to take up household responsibilities & take care of family members.
  • Child Marriage: Girls are forced to drop out of school & are now at increased risk of being married off early, before 18 years of age.
  • Long Distance to School: In rural areas, children often walk long distances to reach school. In such cases, girls are forced to stay at home due to increased risk of violence.
  • Gender Inequality: Often girls are denied an education due to patriarchal norms & beliefs e.g. boys will eventually be the bread-winners & support their families while girls will marry & work only within their homes for which an education is not necessary.
