The education of girls is essential for their empowerment, the fight against poverty and the promotion of equality. Young girls from Kinshasa shared their views on the importance of education. They emphasize that school allows them to learn and become useful to society. Sending a girl to school gives her the opportunity to acquire knowledge and apply for a career to build her future. Studies are also a lever to fight poverty. Unfortunately, many girls face obstacles such as school fees, household chores or begging on the streets. It is essential that the government guarantees equal access to education for all. Failure to attend school for girls maintains their lower status than men and limits their active participation in society. It is therefore crucial to provide girls with quality education to break this cycle. Governments and societies must put in place concrete measures to ensure equal access to education for all, regardless of gender. Girls’ education is an investment in the future, both for individuals and for communities as a whole.
