Despite progress in women’s status in recent decades, the lives of millions of girls and women are overshadowed by discrimination, disempowerment and poverty, Millions of women throughout the world are subject to physical violence, with little recourse to justice and education. As a result of this discrimination, girls are less likely to attend school; nearly one out of every ten girls who enroll in primary school in developing countries does not complete a primary education. In most regions of the world, women receive less formal education than men, hence, the empowerment of women’s education and the improvement of their social life are highly important, because education is one of the most important means of empowering women with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence necessary to participate fully in the development of their communities.
