Gender &
Development Special Issue on Education Out Now!
In the latest issue of Gender & Development, brand new articles from practitioners, policy makers and researchers focus on girls’ formal education. The unique potential for education to open the learner's eyes and inspire her to action has led to women and girls being denied education throughout history, and across the globe. The contributors to this issue chart progress on increasing access to education - exploring the challenges that remain - and share visions of empowering education and analytical case studies of work that aims to both increase access to education, and improve its quality, relevance and usefulness to girls and women.
Gender & Development provides free access to individual articles via
www.genderanddevelopment.org
