FEMALE EMPOWERMENT
Case study: Education As a medium for Female empowerment
In this edition of female empowerment, our focus will be on the aspect of “RIGHT TO BE EDUCATED”.
I know that you may be wondering jif females are still being deprived of their right to be educated in this so called “Era of tech” and the shocking truth is “Yes”. Millions of females out there are being deprived of their right to be educated due to the ancient believe that it will be a waste of time as they would sooner or later be tied down in the kitchen but this isn’t true hence, this belief should be trashed.
The following are countries in which females are being deprived of the right to education:
CAMBODIA
Almost the entire educated class in Cambodia was eradicated when the forceful Khmer Rouge assumed power in the 1970s. The aftermath can still be seen today, as most women’s education comes to a halt at the onset of, or before, puberty, with only 15 percent of women seeking higher education. For the overwhelming majority of women, their fate is to suffer from domestic violence or marital rape and work in the rice fields or as prostitutes as early as age 13.
PAKISTAN
The lack of formal education for women in Pakistan made headlines recently when the Taliban shot 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai in the head for pursuing her right to learn. The education rate for Pakistani women is among the lowest in the world. Over half of Pakistani girls are not educated, and according to the World Economic Forum Gender Parity Report, Pakistan has the world’s second lowest rate of female employment. Now, the Malala Fund, named in her honor, endorses the education and empowerment of girls in Pakistan and around the world.
NEPAL
In Nepal, only seven percent of students actually make it to the tenth grade, and the ratio of boys to girls is practically 2:1. A female’s education is not as important as a male’s, and thus, many Nepalese young women are sold into bonded servitude or raised to learn to run a household. There are, however, glimmers of hope, as many associations are now running initiatives to provide additional educational support for Nepalese women.
AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan is notoriously one of the hardest places in the world to be a woman. One of the most startling statistics we’ve found is that nine out of 10 women are illiterate: About 40 percent of Afghan girls...
