Women make up more than two-thirds of the world's 800 million illiterate people and 130 million girls worldwide are out of school. Why are these shocking numbers still a reality in now 2021? Girls have the drive to learn, and there is overwhelming evidence that educating girls creates healthier, wealthier, and more stable communities. So, when girls’ education is so pivotal, why isn’t every girl getting a quality education? And how do we bridge the gender gap in education once and for all? Dr. Sheen Gurrib explores these questions and proposes her 'ABC' method to solving them.
