About Project
The ‘Girls Get Equal 2.0: Realising Rights and Building Resilience’ Project has been funded by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and implemented in partnership with Plan International Bangladesh, aims to ensure that adolescents—especially girls aged 10–24—have access to safe, inclusive, climate-resilient, and quality education.
The project addresses systemic barriers such as gender inequality, child marriage, limited access to SRHR information, and weak school systems, while strengthening youth empowerment and community engagement.
Due to economic hardship or poverty, unsafe and absence of enabling environment in schools and roads, high teacher-student ratio hindered the quality of education, lack of menstrual hygiene management, parental unawareness and societal traditional gender norms, lack of career prospects, absence of climate resilient and child-centered education system etc. that forces girls into discontinuation from formal education and engage them in domestic work, limiting their time and resources for education and the ultimate result is to increase dropout from education which consequences the child early and forced marriage. This project outlines potential interventions and strategies to tackle the various challenges faced by girls in accessing and staying in education in Bangladesh. It suggests actions such as providing financial support, improving infrastructure and security, raising awareness, offering career guidance, and enhancing educational quality to promote girls' education and empowerment.
