Why are women deprived an education?

We live in a world where men dominate most economic aspects of society. A world where men have more influence and control, meanwhile women are depicted in many countries to take on domestic roles, therefore an education is believed to not be necessary. These beliefs create many women's educations short, thus many countries having more than half  the girls drop out before reaching 6th grade.

 

In spite of economic and cultural beliefs creating a barrier for women to recieve an education, a lack of access is also a barrier for women in developing countries. This relates to poverty! Poverty is a highly common reason to a lack of women's education in some communties, including school fees, supplies, mandatory uniform and the cost to travel with the long distance from home.
