Girls Are Human Beings Too!

Humaira, 18, from Pakistan, believes every girl has the right to an education. Yet, in her country, girls face many hurdles when it comes to going to school, such as distance, absent teachers, or child marriage – all of which this young woman has witnessed. Undeterred, Humaira has vowed to make it to medical school once she has passed her exams and, in her spare time, she tutors girls at one of Plan International’s local NFE (Non Formal Education) centers.

“I want to make sure that all girls in Pakistan get an education,” says Humaira. “Education for girls is essential. They become aware and can learn life skills. In hard times, they can earn a livelihood and help support their family.”
