2011: It's a Right! Make it Right! Education for Women and Girls Now!
The main idea of
the GAW 2011, which coincided with the 100th centennial of the
International Women’s Day, was “Women’s and Girl’s Education” as one of the
main commitments of the GCE was to organize campaigns to ensure women’s and
girl’s access to good education.
The campaign
focused, via the work of its coalitions in Arab countries, on consolidating the
efforts to address various women’s and girl’s issues in the field of education,
including high drop-out rates, low enrollment rates, cultural practices and
traditions that deprive girls/women from accessing education and some other
security issues; active participation of different sectors took place in 9
countries, with more than 25,000 participants in Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan,
Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Somalia and Mauritania.
