9 out of 10 countries with highest out-of-school rates for girls are in Sub-Saharan Africa. We urgently need to invest in their education to bridge the gap!

Education belongs to ALL. But not all have access to it.
Today, millions globally are still deprived of their #RightToEducation.
This is not the world we want. On #HumanRightsDay, join our call to ensure every child & youth can go to school & thrive. https://t.co/H3D7QMD1MU
Society is roughly half men & half women - But women are under represented (in #governance & #politics)
If you look at #Nigeria’s #parliament there is less than 5% womens representation
Would you describe that as #democracy?
Would you describe that as equal #representation?
Of course not.
Better democracy, better representation = better #development

‘Instead of ignoring demographic changes & waiting until they pose material challenges for labor markets, social protection systems, health care, service delivery, public finance etc – it's critical to anticipate & prepare well ahead.’ @JulittaOnabanjo opens the #SeoulSymposium23
Six areas where if we have catalytic change - we will get much further with #SDGs
1⃣Young people into decent #employment & livelihood opportunities
2⃣Strengthened #food systems (#data indicates 60% of food produced in #Nigeria never reaches consumers)
3⃣Giving children quality #learning opportunities for basic #literacy & relevant #skills
4⃣Increasing access to quality primary #healthcare
5⃣Protecting women & girls from violence (#GBV)
6⃣Strengthening public #institutions & #services to make them more accountable & transparent

Let's #FundEducation to end extreme poverty.
Access to quality education not only increases individual earnings, it also promotes broader economic growth and helps societies mitigate the impacts of climate change - a key driver for exacerbating inequalities.
