Abstract

Education is a powerful tool that can help improve the lives of people around the world. It is therefore clear that by allowing more women and girls to be educated would be a benefit to society as a whole. As previously stated, there is evidence that proves the advantages of empowering women through education. Education is a basic human right, and thus girls and boys all around the world should be entitled to this opportunity consequently enforcing the ideology of gender equality. If a girl is educated statistics suggest that they will marry later and so on. It can therefore be concluded that by empowering women through education is a great advantage both to women and to society as a whole.
