Illiteracy is one of the biggest cause of poverty. Primary education is a lifter for girls, ethnic minorities, orphans, disabled people, rural families and those who are likely to be poor.
By providing them education, they become relevant to the nation and its growth. Education improves the girl, causing her to be productive and not a burden to the society.
Educated women can raise their voices to be heard especially to demand for equality and fairness on issues that concern them and their families. Having a voice that could be heard leads to reduction in the rate of domestic and sexual violence.
