The persistence of obstacles to girls’ and women’s access to education must be recognized and fought against.
Ms. Amina Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary-General
of the United Nations, has repeatedly spoken on the matter, as prohibitions against educational access are in direct violation of women’s rights. She states that these policies will only face “women and girls with a future that confines them in their own homes, violating their rights and depriving the communities of their services.” Ms. Mohammed also states that Islam does not, at any moment, forbid women and girls from pursuing education. On the contrary, the pursuit of knowledge is encouraged in the teachings of the prophet. Our President, Mrs. Salwa Kader, reminds us that “as per SDGs 4 and 5, access to
a fair and equal education is a fundamental right of women and girls, and actions which prohibit women’s education are based on the laws and wishes of men, not those of religion.”
The International Federation for Peace and Sustainable development, together with the National Association of Women Judges, invites you to the “Let girls & women have access to education” event, during which NAWJ will lead a discussion on the US’ programs for resettlement and relocation of expatriate women. Further, we come together to stand in fierce opposition to the violation of women’s rights committed around the globe, reinforcing the importance of allowing–and facilitating–female education.
