In many parts of the world, especially in poorer, less stable countries, receiving even the most basic education is not a given. According to a recent
Pew Research Center report, roughly one-in-five adults (19%) around the globe have
no formal schooling at all. Even more discouraging is the fact that these women are more likely to have no schooling than men.
Nearly 23% of women are uneducated, compared with 14% of the men around the globe. In the Middle East-North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, roughly half of adult women have not been to school for even a year.
According to information shared by the organization,
Girls Opportunity Alliance, more than 98 million adolescent girls around the world who do not attend school.
