Main Barriers to Girls’ Education in India
1. Cultural and Social Norms
2. Economic Constraints
3. Infrastructure and Accessibility
4. Safety and Security Concerns
5. Educational Quality and Relevance
Girls’ literacy in India has progressed, yet challenges remain. We promotes girls’ education through awareness, resources, and infrastructure support.
In rural India, female literacy lags significantly behind urban areas, with only 31% of women being literate compared to 64% in cities. Despite some progress, girls still face immense barriers to education, often forced into household chores or seen as financial burdens due to cultural norms. Many families prioritize their sons’ education, believing they will provide long-term care. However, educating girls is vital for their empowerment, financial independence, and the betterment of their communities. Our organization is working to break these barriers by focusing on improving female literacy in rural areas, helping girls become valuable and empowered members of society.
