Girls loss to education affects the world.

Did you know 60 million girls have no access to education? This is one of the worlds biggest problems. I have several reasons for saying this. To start with,many girls are forced into child labour and this is causing the children to be killed or injured. In undeveloped countries the Kalamari practise restrict girls to get education. It seems to be that the Kalamari practise is a way of slavery.Girls have to work in houses ,clean the dishes ,clean the house and help the children.
Approximately, 114 million kids are slaves in Asia and the Pacific.
60% of child labour occurs in agriculture,and forestry.

Another reason is that
Many children are forced to work instead of going to school.Some of these jobs are specifically given to girls.These jobs include looking after their siblings,doing chores,and working in a mine.This can lead to serious health problems that can result in death. Although,there are many varieties of jobs, children who are working don’t get enough income to support their families.This causes the children to work at two different jobs just so they can afford a proper education.The lack of education gives these children many obstacles in their life,such as forming a career.This situation currently happens in countries such as Niger,Liberia,Mali,Burkina Faso.

Furthermore, did you know that child marriage still happens?
Child marriage is when a child that is under 18 years
of age is forced to get married.Usually the husband of the girl is an adult. Imagine getting married to someone your dads age!! Many of these girls don't stand up for their rights so they get quickly pregnant after they get married.On the other hand when these young girls get pregnant their bodies are not ready to conceive a baby.This leads to death of the baby,or the baby is stillborn,or the mother dies.

I hope I provided you with enough information about girls right to education,please sign our petition if you agree and support that education problems for girls should be stopped (I would like at least 50 or more signatures.)
Thank You!

This is heartbreaking. Every girl deserves a chance to go to school and have a real childhood.
