Keeping Girls in School
- A Advocacy Campaign/Project
? Activity Status: Unknown
Key Information
Girls in Pakistan face tremendous challenges to completing their education. Poverty, prejudice, violence, and an underfunded school system combine with one another so that less than one in five girls are still going to school by the ninth grade. The COVID-19 pandemic is making these inequalities worse.
In response, Right To Play and Penny Appeal Canada are coming together as partners to launch #ForHer: Keeping Girls in School to empower 16,000 at-risk girls in Pakistan to keep learning and complete their education.
