During the 2005 Action Week, we will demand that politicians keep
their promises to achieve gender equity in education by 2005 and
universal primary education by 2015. These are among the eight Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) for ending world poverty - but on current
trends, they will be missed.
We need universal basic education now to end poverty and empower
women. The previous Action Weeks have shown that if we unite and
speak with one voice, we can make a powerful impact and force our
leaders to take action before it is too late.
In 2005 the GCE is organising the "Send my Friend to School"
global action. Children and adult learners around the world will
be making life-size cut-outs from card and paper. These cut-out
"friends" symbolize the 105 million out-of-school children
and 860 million illiterate adults - the majority of whom are girls
and women.
