Gender equality is crucial in and for education and cannot be achieved without solid, rights-based, gender-responsive and inclusive national legal frameworks. In this perspective UNESCO’s Her Atlas, online monitoring tool on girls and women’s right to education, was launched in 2019. It aims to enhance public knowledge and monitor the status of national constitutions, legislations and regulations related to girls’ and women’s education rights, in order to encourage countries to take actions to improve their legal frameworks. This report, which marks the completion of the first monitoring phase, intends to highlight some key trends outlined by the research work, and to emphasize examples of legal provisions in relation to girls’ and women’s right to education guaranteed by States’ domestic laws.
