DEADLINE \u2013 May 10, 2018<\/strong><\/div>\n
The epic struggle for gender equality in almost all countries of the world is well recognized and acknowledged. For centuries, women were considered inferior to women or as second-class citizens until recently. Strangely enough, very young girls never attended public elementary schools and even when they admitted, they were made to attend a segregated school facility. Although notable progress has been made over the last 20 years, 16 million girls will never set foot in a classroom (UNESCO Institute for Statistics).<\/div>\n
The UNESCO Prize for Girls\u2019 and Women\u2019s Education honours outstanding and innovative contributions made by individuals, institutions and organizations to advance girls and women education. It is the first UNESCO Prize of this nature and is unique in showcasing successful projects that improve and promote the educational prospects of girls and women and in turn, the quality of their lives.<\/div>\n
Funded by the Government of the People\u2019s Republic of China, the Prize has conferred annually to two laureates and consists of an award of USD 50,000 each to help further their work in the area of girls\u2019 and women\u2019s education. The Director-General of UNESCO awarded the Prize for the first time in 2016.<\/div>\n
