When girls lose out on their #education, the world loses out on a safer, more equal future. Educated women are more likely to secure financial independence, reducing their vulnerability to control, exploitation and violence. Each additional year of education can boost a woman’s income by up to 20% (UN Women, 2020). Financial autonomy strengthens decision-making power, making women less likely to experience intimate partner violence and empowering them to build safer, healthier lives. This #16Days, let’s recognise education not just as a right, but as a critical strategy to combat gender-based violence and foster gender equality. 🔗 Explore more evidence in the "Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Gender Snapshot 2022" report by UN Women and United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs: https://lnkd.in/e-bx4AMq #16DaysofActivism #NoExcuse #EndGBV #SDG4 #SDG5 UN Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) FAWE
