Girls are not able to go to school due to poverty and culture. Poverty in girls have to stay at home and do chores around the house. There are many reasons why girls are not in school. Some are because of poverty, lack of water, and religion.

Poverty

Nearly half of the world's population live in poverty. Three billion people live on less than $2.50 a day. There are more than 1.3 billion that live in extreme poverty and live on less than $1.25 a day.

So did you know that more than 2 billion girls will never get the chance to have a good education or even maybe not have a education can you even think about not having a education I cant cause teachers might think that i hate school and yeah sometimes i do but not all the time and i think that i am really good at math i don’t so much think i am good at social studies but any no more about me.

Water Crisis

There is a huge water problem in most countries. There are billions of children all over the world who suffer for not having clean water and most children die due to sickness. The water is too dirty to drink because you will get very sick which leads to life threatening or very dangerous causes. Most of the kids all around the world do not have clean water.

Associated with the lack of education, there is a high divorce rate, overpopulation, epidemic diseases such as AIDS and malaria. Environmental problems such as lack of rainfall causes drought which can lead to less crops for food.

Religion

Islamic believe girls do not need an education. Girls are told they should stay home and help with family and chores.

The study of women and religion typically examines the role of women within particular religious faiths, and religious doctrines relating to gender, gender roles, and particular women in religious history. Most religions elevate the status of men over women, have stricter sanctions against women, and require them to be submissive.

Just Facts

While there has been progress towards equality, religions overall still lag the rest of society in addressing gender issues. There are fundamentalists within every religion who actively resist change. There is often a dualism within religion which exalts women on the one hand, while demanding more rigorous displays of devotion on the other. This leads some feminists to see religion as the last barrier for female emancipation.
