- Description
- This publication examines progress and gaps in efforts to achieve gender equality in and through education since the adoption of the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995. Findings illustrate that in 2018 130 million girls worldwide were out of school and that the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to interrupt the education of more than 11 million girls. . .The report provides recommendations to investments and action on adolescent girls’ education, promotes multi-stakeholder partnerships and focuses on three themes: comprehensive sexuality education, involvement of adolescent girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and the development of adolescent girls’ leadership. These recommendations are accompanied by adolescent girls’ own needs and expectations.
