STRATEGY
For a long time, researchers have recognized that educating girls is important for
improving health, reducing gender equality, and empowering women.
Global commitments to girl’s education have focused on primary education. This
focus must continue, and international commitments to universal primary and
secondary education must be met, because primary and secondary education results
in positive health outcomes that include reduced fertility and child mortality rates.
And in addition, post-primary education has strong positive effects on health
outcomes and contributes to the broader empowerment of women. Research shows
that education is most beneficial to women in settings in which they have greater
control over their mobility and greater access to services.
In order to achieve the gender inequality in education that means to increase girls’
education in our country one of the most important strategy is behavioral change
of the community by giving various education to the population. These includes in
different Medias like TV, radio, magazines etc.
Another strategy which could change the behavior of the community in my opinion
is bringing popular women which came from the community and show them as a
role model to the community. And those women could give various initiating
information to the community in different public places and even in schools by
presenting as a role model and sharing their experience and challenges in their
previous lifetime.
Empowering women is also one of the best strategy which can definitely bring
behavioral change in the community to increase girls’ education. Empowering
refers to a process whereby women develop strength and skills to act towards a
personal or collective good. It helps in preventing and protecting against the
challenges faced by other girls from the community in the way of living condition
which could be in the education sector or other gender based inequalities.

In general, Gender-based inequality is a phenomenon that affects the majority of
the world’s cultures, religions, nations and income groups. Yet there are
differences in the way gender disparities manifest themselves and how they have
evolved over time. It is vital to develop frameworks and strategy for capturing the
magnitude of these disparities in order to design effective measures for reducing
them. There are various strategies designed to create greater awareness among a
global audience of the challenges posed by gender gaps and the opportunities
created by reducing them.
