All children have the right to education.
But many girls are taken out of school in the early grades or do not go to school at all. During the project, teachers, staff, and community workers helped translate, fax and type for girls from tribal communities, remote villages and halfway houses. I have an older sister who was married off at the age of 15. She is pregnant and yet has to work in a garment factory from very early in the morning to very late at night because her husband refuses to work. She had to give 20,000 takas plus some jewelry to her husband s family so that she could get married, but she is treated no better than a servant.
