Educate a Girl, Educate a Nation - iraq

Success skills
We aim to provide millions of girls across Iraq with safe, quality, gender-transforming education so they can find their voice and learn to lead. We work to ensure that girls know they are equally deserving of the skills needed to succeed.

We focus our efforts on equality, inclusion and diversity. Our programs work in the classroom not only with teachers, but also with communities, governments, religious leaders, family members, and children to end gender inequality in education.

Learn to drive
School is a space where girls exercise their agency, make their voices heard, and get their first leadership opportunities.

Not only does dropping out of school have dire consequences for girls' life chances - it puts them at risk of teenage pregnancy, child marriage, female genital mutilation and other forms of gender-based violence.
Empowering girls to make a difference. It gives girls the skills to become leaders, innovators, and change-makers, and to deal with future crises.

Urging leaders to fund girls’ education because #EducationShiftsPower
Unless world leaders step up and invest adequately in education, there is a risk that the climate emergency will lead to millions more girls missing out on school in the coming years.

Increased investment in education and girls’ leadership will play an essential role in ensuring girls and young women are able to demand their rights, hold decision makers to account, and challenge the status quo, including the systems and norms which reinforce gender and climate injustice around the iraq.
