CEDAW Article 10
Girls have an equal right to education
A girl can stay in school or training. Pregnancy, care or disability should bring support, not exclusion.
How you can use it
- 1Tell the school you want to stay enrolled.
- 2Ask for the support that removes the barrier.
- 3If excluded, complain to the education authority or an equality body.
What a violation looks like
A pregnant or care-experienced girl is pushed out of school.
Words you can use
“I want to stay in education. Please give me the support I need.”
If speaking is hard, write it, draw it, send a message, or ask a trusted adult to say it with you.
