All leafy trees are bright yellow, in sunshine landscape is stunning.

11 October is the International Day of the Girl, to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.

The fulfillment of girls’ right to education is first and foremost an obligation and moral imperative. While there has been significant progress in improving girls’ access to education over the last two decades, many girls, particularly the most marginalized, continue to be deprived of this basic right. Girls in many countries are still unable to attend school and complete their education due to safety-related, financial, institutional and cultural barriers. Even when girls are in school, perceived low returns from poor quality of education, low aspirations, or household chores and other responsibilities keep them from attending school or from achieving adequate learning outcomes. The transformative potential for girls and societies promised through girls’ education is yet to be realized.
