Gender Inequality and the African Girl Child

This report investigates the complex roots of gender inequality, drawing on case studies and best practices from local and international efforts to address these challenges.

Key Insights on the African Girl Child; the Gaps and the Way Forward

Gender inequality and illiteracy among girls continue to pose significant challenges across Africa, impacting not only the lives of women and girls but also the continent’s economic and social development.

Despite notable advances, Africa still faces a stark disparity: women perform 60% of global labor yet own just 1% of property and earn only 10% of income. A major factor is the persistent education gap, with UNESCO reporting that, in Sub-Saharan Africa, female literacy rates hover around 65%, with some regions falling below 15%.

Financial exclusion exacerbates this issue, as around 70% of African women lack access to basic financial services, further marginalizing their role in education and economic development.
