An Equal world is better world
A Barrier to girls education in term of earlier life marriage.
Education is the egress, from the dark long narrow vicinity seems occlusion of the both breath and hope, education smells kinda strong spiritual nosegays, seems like horizon of triumphant and the pyrotechnic glowing the sky. Education is inspiration, education is hope… a hope Emily described:
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash warm.”
But this education doesn’t knock the door of everyone person future in some societies, indeed. Certainly we are living in such society, women doesn't privilege of the basic education, some sort of prejudice and added with girls marriage in age of puberty, the consequences are the worst.
Lack of access to education for girls is part of a broader landscape of gender inequality in Pakistan. The country has one of Asia’s highest rates of maternal mortality. Violence against women and girls — including acid attacks, domestic violence, forced marriage and child marriage — is a serious problem, and government responses are inadequate. Twenty-one percent of females marry as children.
International women’s health coalition stated:
- According to the UN, 37,000 girls under the age of 18 are married each day. We now have the greatest number of married girls and girls at-risk of child marriage than ever before
- 1 in 3 girls in the developing world are married before 18; 1 in 9 are married before the age of 15
- If present trends continue, more than 140 million girls will be married before the age of 18 in the next decade
- Globally, almost 400 million women now aged 20–49 were married before the age of 18
Where Does child marriage occur?
Child marriage occurs in every region of the world, and is practiced across cultures, religions, and ethnicities. The highest rates of child marriage by country are observed in Sub-Saharan Africa, in countries such as Niger, the Central African Republic, and Chad. However, the largest number of child brides live in South Asia, where 46 percent of girls are married before the age of 18. Incidents of child marriage have been shown to increase as instability increases, making girls living in conflict or crisis settings particularly vulnerable to the practice.
Barriers to Girls’ Education Within/outside the School System
Many of the barriers to girls’ education are within the school system itself. The Pakistan government simply has not established an education system adequate to meet the needs of the country’s children, especially girls. While handing off responsibility to private school operators and religious schools might seem like a solution, nothing can absolve the state of its obligation, under international and domestic law, to ensure that all children receive a decent education — something that simply is not happening in Pakistan today. Moreover, despite all the barriers, many people interviewed for this report described a growing demand for girls’ education, including in marginalized communities. The major issue are:
Lack of investment
High cost of education
Poor Quality of education
No enforcement of compulsory education
Poverty
Social Norms
Insecurity
Armed Conflict and Target Attacks on Schools
Certainly we are making girls living in conflict or crisis settings particularly vulnerable to the practice.
