Gender Inequality in Education

Gender inequality in education refers to the disparities between males and females in accessing, participating in, and benefiting from educational opportunities. In many parts of the world, girls face barriers such as cultural norms, poverty, and lack of safety that hinder their education. This can lead to lower literacy rates, reduced employment opportunities, and perpetuates cycles of poverty. Ensuring equal education for all genders not only promotes individual empowerment but also drives social and economic progress, as education is key to improving health, economic development, and overall societal well-being.
