Importance of woman’s education:
1. Increased Literacy: Offering all children education will prop up literacy rates, pushing forward development in struggling regions.
2. Human Trafficking: Women are most vulnerable to trafficking when they are undereducated and poor. Through providing young girls with opportunities and fundamental skills, Human Trafficking can be significantly undermined.
3. Political Representation: Across the globe, women are under represented as voters and restricted from political involvement. Civic education, training and all around empowerment will reduce this gap.
4. Thriving Babies: Children of educated mothers are twice as likely to survive past the age of five.
5. Later Marriage: As suggested by the United Nations Population Fund, in underdeveloped countries, one in every three girls is married before reaching the age of 18. In a region where a girl receives seven or more years of education, the wedding date is delayed by four years.
6. Income Potential: According to (UNESCO) a single year of primary education has shown to increase a girl’s wages later in life by 20 percent.
7. Prospering GDP: Gross Domestic Product also rises when both girls and boys are being offered educational opportunities.
8. Poverty Reduction: When women are provided with equal rights and equal access to education, they go on to participate in economic activity. Increased earning power leads to reduction in poverty level.
