babusyatanyaPlease read through the list of United Nations Millennium Goals (available here), and then draft three to five thoughtful paragraphs about the following topic:
Which goals relate directly to girls’ education? Which goals are dependent on educating girls for their fulfillment?
More details about the Millennium Goals
and current information on the status of achieving them .
The Millennium Development Goals are all directly or indirectly affect whether or not the universal education will be a reality for girls internationally and locally.
For example, achieving the Goal 1. "Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger" can become a material foundation for millions of disadvantaged groups of people to think about not mere survival strategies in their lives, but looking towards joining the rest of the mankind - culturally and intellectually - acquiring the knowledge and norms which humans have created and developed in history, and participating in this cultural and social creativity.
Improvements to maternal health (the Goal 5) are the key to improve both the womens' living conditions, and supporting a healthy family environment, in which childrens' abilities can thrive and develop to their best.
Of particular importance, on my view, is the Goal 8, which clarifies that equal access to education requires unequal approach. This might require directing more intellectual and organizational efforts and resources to the needs of the disadvantaged populations and groups of people. In this way the equality as a main principle of human rights can be achieved globally.
On contrary: an "equal" approach to everyone will not alleviate the global problems, but just perpetuate existing imbalances, caused by the centuries of violence, injustice and inequalities in human societies.
