Education is not a privilege. It is a fundamental RIGHT.

Yet nearly 130 million girls are out of school globally. This puts them at risk of violence, exploitation & early marriage.

We cannot fully or equitably recover from this pandemic unless we recognize what this graph and others are telling us: Women around the world are still suffering disproportionately. And if we don’t invest now, they could get left behind. https://t.co/c2zGKsrTnh

Women-led businesses across #Africa are often informal. In #Kenya, over 60% of unlicensed businesses are owned by women. As a result, women-owned businesses have limited access to formal finance & social protections, especially amid #Covid19. Learn more: https://t.co/40dbaKip8i

Maureen Gitata points out areas that need to be improved to close the #GenderInEmployment gap;
-Include more programs exclusive to women esp young women
-Target more women groups not just entrepreneurs
-Focus on creating solutions to systemic and infrastructure barriers.
