In May 2011, UNESCO’s Director General, together with Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, launched a major global partnership for girls’ and women’s education which brought together world political and corporate leaders to step up global advocacy and make quality education available for girls and women everywhere, especially in Africa and Asia.
Indeed, poor education is at once the result and the cause of the continuing gender gap that deprives women of their right to take charge of their lives. Educating girls and women has proven to have a positive impact on social and economic conditions for society at large. Educating a girl can have a number of additional effects; for example, educated women take better care of their families and can serve as multipliers by taking what they have learned and passing it on to their entire family and their community. A baby born to a literate mother has a 50 percent better chance of living to the age of five than one born to an illiterate woman. Furthermore, HIV/AIDS spreads twice as fast among illiterate girls and women as it does among those with some literacy skills.
