Research and Policy Symposium and Workshop on Gender Equality in and through Education
On December 4, 2024, the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at Brookings will host a Research and Policy Symposium on Gender Equality in and through Education.
The event will feature the 2024 Echidna Global Scholars, including CAMFED’s Lydia Wilbard, presenting their research on the challenges marginalized girls and women face in education across various contexts.
Topics include:
- Inclusive education for girls with disabilities in post-conflict Tigray (Ethiopia)
- Women’s leadership within the education system in Tanzania (presented by Lydia Wilbard, Executive Director of Learning & Engagement at CAMFED)
- Sexual and reproductive health education for adolescent girls in Nepal
- Second-chance education to overcome structural inequalities in Mexico
The Scholars will explore how we can address women and girls’ unique challenges holistically, including by centering them in research, policy and action to promote gender equality in and through education.
