Girl's Education working group post-2015 position paper

February 2014

The education goal within the post-2015 framework must take this into account; girls and women must no longer be left behind. Further, education and the inclusion of girls and women must not be seen in isolation, being intrinsically linked to other goals, such as the elimination of early marriage, sanitation infrastructure, stopping violence against women and goals and sexual and reproductive health.
