The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) has launched the call for nominations for the
2021 UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education.
The UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education honours
outstanding and innovative contributions made by individuals, institutions and
organizations to advance girls’ and women’s education. It is the first UNESCO
Prize of this nature and is unique in showcasing successful projects that
improve and promote the educational prospects of girls and women and in turn,
the quality of their lives.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and in a context
where girls and women have been disproportionately impacted by nationwide
school closures, ensuring that girls and women continue learning must be a
priority. UNESCO estimates that over 11 million girls and young women may not
return to school following the impact of the pandemic. This is in addition to
the 128 million girls who were already out of school before the pandemic.
