Education plays a pivotal role in an individual’s life, helping them shape the world for the better. But sadly, girls and women across the globe still face numerous challenges in accessing education. Despite progress being made, girls are still less likely to attend school and complete their education due to various socio-economic and cultural reasons. In an attempt to address this issue, the Girls’ and Women’s Education Prize is being awarded to organizations and individuals who have contributed significantly to improving access to education for girls and women.
Join us in recognizing and celebrating those who have made a remarkable impact in empowering girls and women through education. Nominations for the Girls’ and Women’s Education Prize 2024 are now open, and we urge you to nominate the candidates who are working selflessly for this noble cause.
