Every Girl In School
When girls are educated, healthy and informed, they empower themselves, their families and their communities!
Here is why we need to advocate for equal opportunities for every girl in India
53% of girls in the age group of 5 to 9 years are illiterate
23% girls drop out of school on reaching puberty due to a lack of toilets in schools
Only 26.8% of women above the age of 15 are part of India’s labour force — compared to 79.1% men
47% of girls are married by the age of 18, and 18% are married at 15
1 out of every 6 girls does not live to see her 15th birthday
