Crafting the future starts at home: Opening more doors for girls and women

Description
Every child deserves an education, yet 129 million girls worldwide are missing out on school. This session explores how the home environment plays a crucial role in youth and girls' development and education. From poverty and household chores to conflict and child marriage, girls face numerous barriers that often start at home. As school closures increase household burdens, girls spend more time on chores, leading to higher dropout rates. This discussion will highlight key principles, emphasising that education begins at home and should not rest solely on teachers. We will also spotlight global initiatives tackling these issues, ensuring girls can achieve their full potential. Join us to learn how to create supportive home environments that prioritise education for girls and reduce the barriers they face.
