“Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance."
– Kofi Annan
The key to a prosperous future lies in the youth of the world, however if we ignore half of our future we will only have half of the prosperity.
Gender inequality not only damages the girl child, but the generations of girls, boys, women and men, it leaves a scar on the whole of our global society. Until we see a real end to gender discrimination, one will not see the end at the light of the development tunnel.
Gender equality is the key to ending poverty, as it opens the doors of education, and helps to close the door on gender based violence. The key to a prosperous future lies in the lives of generations of girls.
