UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education 2024
On this International Women’s Day, UNESCO is thrilled to announce the opening of nominations for the prestigious 2024 UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education.
This esteemed prize recognizes and celebrates the remarkable efforts of individuals and organizations in advancing girls’ and women’s education, with each laureate receiving an annual award of US$ 50,000.
Despite the strides made in recent years, 122 million girls globally still lack access to education, and a significant portion of illiterate adults are women. This underscores the urgent need for continued advocacy and action to ensure gender equality in education.
At the heart of this initiative lies the transformative power of education. Countries around the world have pledged to prioritize gender equality in their education plans, emphasizing inclusive learning environments and support for the most marginalized populations.
Are you driving change in girls’ and women’s education? This is your chance to shine!
