- Women account for 55% of all college students, but even when women have equal years of education it does not translate into economic opportunities or political power.
- Two-thirds of the world’s children who receive less than four years of education are girls. Girls represent nearly 60% of the children not in school.

- Rape is consciously used as a tool of genocide and weapon of war. Tens of thousands of women and girls have been subjected to rape and other sexual violence.
