Barriers Preventing Girls’ Education 

Grace Taylor

For too many girls, not receiving adequate schooling is a reality. When girls are not able to attend school, they do not get to experience the same type of freedom and opportunities to learn. Some girls might end up staying home, collecting water, and cooking for their families, instead of spending time in a classroom. For a long time, women were confined to traditional roles that obligated them to work in their houses. It was the woman’s responsibility to maintain the house and raise the children. This ISU goes into depth about the multiple barriers that continue to prevent girls from going to school. Times may now be better in North America but in many other areas of the world, the specific roles of women have either remained the same or gotten even worse keeping education inaccessible for girls.
