United Nations Girls' Education Initiative

The United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) is a global initiative aimed at addressing the barriers that prevent girls from accessing quality education. Launched in 2000, it advocates for gender equality in education, recognizing that educated girls can break cycles of poverty and contribute to healthier communities. UNGEI works with governments, organizations, and communities to promote policies, mobilize resources, and support programs that empower girls. By focusing on issues like poverty, safety, and cultural norms, UNGEI seeks to ensure that all girls have the opportunity to learn and succeed in school, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.
