Welcome to our blog! This blog focuses on the issue of women's lack of education in Ethiopia and the need to improve the situation. We chose to lend our voices to this cause because we were appalled by the very low number of women who are able to receive an education in Ethiopia, a situation which violates many human rights as declared in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These rights consist of a person's equality, freedom of opinion and information, the right to a free and full development and the most central of these rights: the right to education. The links on the right provide articles that relate the themes of well-known literature to women's education. Our Call to Action page lists a few organizations that are raising awareness for this issue and contains personal accounts of women fighting for the rights they are entitled to.
