Globally, 65 million girls are not in school. Of the 774 million people who are illiterate around the world, two-thirds are women. There are 33 million fewer girls in primary school than boys.
全世界有6500万女孩没有接受在校教育。7.74亿未受过教育的人口中有三分之二是女性。在小学里,女生的数量足足比男生少了3300万。
The statistics are startling: If every woman around the globe had a primary and secondary education, child deaths would be cut in half, saving 3 million people. A girl with eight years of education is four times less likely to marry as a child. If a girl earned just one extra year of education, she can earn 20 percent more as an adult.
一组数据震惊了我们。如果全世界的每位女性都接受过初等和中等教育,那么孩童的死亡率就会降低一半,300万人口将因此生存了下来。受过八年教育的女生在非婚年龄结婚的概率会低四倍。如果她再多受一年教育的话,那么她作为成年人的薪资就会提高20%。
The photos feature girls of all ages from China, India, South Korea and more, getting an education. Whether they're walking to school with friends or excited about learning something new in class, these photos are proof that all children should have the right to get an education, no matter their gender.
这些都是女学生上学的特写图片,他们都是来自中国、印度、朝鲜以及世界的其他地方。无论他们正走在上学的路上,还是在课堂上兴奋得讨论着新学的知识,这些照片都足以证明,所有孩子们都应该有受教育的权利,不管他们是男孩还是女孩。
