In many countries there is still a very traditional view on genders. This means that girls have to quit their education to get married and take care of her husband and their children. They miss a part of their education or some never even go to school at all. This has big influences on themselves, but also on their family, their health and the society. Educated girls earn more, are less likely to get married at a young age, and there is a greater chance that the children of an educated mother will receive education as well.
