Bhagyashri Dengal @PlanAsia Regional Director answers our favourite question: “what about the boys?”. Gender Transformative Education is about changing harmful gender norms that impact both girls’ and boys’ education. #girlsedu @BrookingsInst @PlanGlobal

Girls' leadership, challenging the social norms, unequal power relations and engaging/influencing key stakeholders is critical
School is a space in which girls exercise their agency, make their voice heard, and access their first leadership opportunities. Our Regional Director @bdengle with @hugorstwilliams @CKwauk @RobertG_Jenkins @leannajoon & @MarthaMuhwezi are kicking off the #GirlsEdu symposium!

As a result of gender inequality in education,girls are also denied the chance to develop skills that will help them take charge in their homes,careers,communities & countries. We're with @BrookingsGlobal calling for a gender-transformative approach to #GirlsEdu #GirlsGetEqual
