- Description
- The Special Rapporteur addresses the sociocultural context of gender discrimination by defining the concept of patriarchalism. He denounces the negative impact on education and insists on the importance of ensuring not only girls’ access to school but also their completion of the education cycle. The report identifies obstacles to education for girls, such as early marriages and pregnancies, child labour (especially domestic work) and armed conflicts. He .describes aggravating factors and the key role of human rights education and its concrete implementation at the classroom level to combat gender discrimination and stereotypes. The report also summarizes replies received to the questionnaire sent to different stakeholders to solicit information on the realization of the right to education for girls.
