Primary education is free for all children in Bangladesh, from grades one through five. By law, children between the ages of six and ten must attend school. However, the quality of education remains a barrier for education levels.

Violence against women and girls is everyone's problem. It brings down an entire society. We are ALL touched by femicide in India. Census data shows that poverty and illiteracy are not key factors in India’s female genocide as many assume. The survival of girls is determined by a patriarchal politics of wealth control.
Save the Girl, Educate the Girl.

International Day of the Girl Child 2016
Today is International Day of the Girl Child, 2016. International Day of the Girl Child is an international observance day declared by the United Nations. The observation supports more opportunity for girls, and increases awareness of inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender. This inequality includes areas such as access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, working space and protection from discrimination, violence and child marriage.

Kamla, a grandmother, enjoys the rain and the mist sitting in the verandah of her home in Mandu. The wall behind her says "School chalein hum" (Let's go to school) which is the slogan of the "Education for all" campaign of the government.
Kamla was quiet but looked very graceful and contended to me - watching her grand kids playing around and her sons preparing to go to work.

"Save The Girl child"
Twenty years ago, the Nobel prize-winning economist Amartya Sen studied countries with skewed gender ratios and calculated that there were 100 million missing women in the world as of 1990. His study appeared in the New York Review of Books that year. In October 2011, demographers at the United Nations Population Fund revised that number upward to 117 million.
Some scholars, reporters, and United Nations officers, have circulated the figure of 163 million. Christohe Guilmoto, a demographic expert, explains that this number, “does not correspond to ‘missing women’ per se but to the number of additional women these countries would have if they had the same population sex ratio as the rest of the world. A real estimate of missing women consists in comparing sex ratio by age between affected countries and the rest of the world. … Doing so indicates that there were in 2010 about 115 million women missing from the countries most affected by sex imbalances at birth and excess female mortality.”
Gendercide affects women of all ages but bears down especially hard on the youngest. In the last twenty years, sex-selective abortion has displaced infanticide as the primary method for eliminating baby girls. After birth, baby girls are more often neglected to death than actively killed, but families still continue to drown, smother, strangle, and abandon baby girls. Currently, we lose about 2 million baby girls per year to gendercide. This is almost four baby girls every minute.

On International Day of the Girl Child 2018, themed “With Her: A Skilled Girl Force”, join UN Women as we stand with girls everywhere as they inspire, innovate and take charge of their own future.
The 1.1 billion girls of today’s world are challenging the status quo. They’re redefining girlhood, and they’re doing so against the odds.
Across the world, girls face adversities that hinder their education, training and entry into the workforce.They have less access to information, communication technology and resources, such as the internet where the global gender gap is growing.
A quarter of young people, most of them girls, are neither employed nor getting an education or training.
This year alone, 12 million girls under 18 will be married, and 21 million girls aged 15 to 19 years will become pregnant in developing regions.
And yet, they persist, they succeed. They are innovating technology to solve global challenges, they are standing up for the environment, they are raising their voices against violence and they are preparing to run for office.

Niama is sleeping in her aunt's arms, next to them, the mother of the infant Mrs. Mamy Koly holds her daughter's health record in her hand during a visit by Mr. Felice Yoamou, Community Relay, who came to provide advice on good feeding and care practices for infants, young children and women, in the convergence commune of Kobéla, Nzérékoré region, Guinea. UNICEF Guinea country office in collaboration with UNICEF WCARO regional office and UNICEF New York headquarters, conducted a field mission in October 2022 to review the status of the effective implementation of primary health care and the Child Friendly Communities (CFC) initiative in Nzérékoré region, Guinea.
The administrative region of Nzérékoré, located in the southeast of Guinea, 954 km from the capital Conakry, includes 6 health districts and has an estimated total population of approximately 2 million inhabitants. The epidemiological profile of this region is characterized by outbreaks of epidemics, including cases of measles, Ebola virus disease, Lassa hemorrhagic fever, and Marburg. Over the past two decades, the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene in Guinea has been committed to making maternal, newborn, and child health a priority. However, insufficient progress has been made based on the results of the DHS from 1999 to 2018. There has been a slight decrease in neonatal mortality rates from 48 to 32 per 1,000 live births, infant and child mortality from 177 per 1,000 to 111 deaths per 1,000 live births, and infant mortality from 98 deaths to 67 per 1,000 in 2018. Only 27% of children under 5 years of age sleep under Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs). 55% of children under 5 with diarrhea received treatment with Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) and only 22% with ORS-Zinc. Only 83% of children with Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) received treatment or counseling and 30% on the same day. Only 24% of children aged 12-23 months received all vaccinations with persistent measles outbreaks. Low rate of exclusive breastfeeding 33%. High prevalence of stunting at 30%, 9% are emaciated or acutely malnourished and 16% are underweight. Low level of sanitation, 52% of households have an improved sanitation facility. The Ministry of Health's main strategy for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is based on primary health care. In 2018, UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene (MSHP) operationalized this new policy in 40 communes known as convergence communes with the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (MATD).
"When we unleash the power of women, we can secure the future for all," says UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in his message for International Women’s Day 2015. -

Without progress for girls, there can be no real progress.
Kanyashree Prakalpa seeks to improve the status and wellbeing of girls, specifically those from socio-economically disadvantaged families. As more and more girls remain in school, it is envisaged that they will use the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge that will help them become economically independent. Even if girls do get married soon after they turn 18, it is expected that their education and enhanced social and emotional development will give them a better foundation for in their adult lives. And over time, as entire generations of women enter marriages only after they have some degree of economic independence, it is expected that the practice of child marriage is completely eradicated, and women will attain their right to health, education and socio-economic equality.

Moving away from learning by rote, child centred learning is being introduced in some rural schools in Cambodia. While resources and teacher skills are limited - encouraging a more interactive, task based learning style produces remarkable results.
