The data collected in 75 countries indicate that educating a woman is essential for the survival of a child. [7]
The increase in the share of household income controlled by women influence spending in a beneficial way for children. [8]
Training is a key means to achieve gender equality. People with a good level of education generally have a wider scope to organize their daily and professional activities and are better equipped to face new challenges on the family, work and politics. In addition, most qualified people generally have better paying jobs. [9]
A young educated woman who completed her professional training has a higher income that allows her to be autonomous, to raise her children by being more attentive to their health and their school education. She can contribute economicaly, politicaly and socialy and thus help build the road to equality.
