Priyanka Chopra urges to support and educate girls amid this global pandemic

This pandemic has not just affected the health of millions but has also affected all the business sectors and the less fortunate ones are just living to survive. They do not have a choice to imagine of any luxury and unfortunately education amid this outbreak is no less than luxury.

Due to novel coronavirus schools have been shut for more than 5 months and the chances of it reopening is equivalent to nil. While many private institutions have started online coaching, many without the affordable gadgets lack to seek education.

One such organization that aims to help the less fortunate adolescent girls around the world through education is the Obama Foundation, through the Girls Opportunity Alliance program. The gorgeous Priyanka Chopra who advocates for girl child education, recently urged people to support this cause to educate the underprivileged girl child across the globe as the ones who have to take up all the family burden in case of crisis is a girl child. She is at a threat of physical and sexual violence, or an early and forced marriage, unintended pregnancy on top of sustained economic hardship.

In a post shared on her official Instagram account Priyanka wrote, “One of the several challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic globally has been its impact on the education system. With classrooms going online for the immediate future, there is still uncertainty over what school will look like in the months to come. This uncertainty takes on another meaning for many girls around the world… the question isn’t when they will return to school—it’s if they will return at all.”

“Due to ripple effects from COVID-19, experts predict that tens of millions more adolescent girls could remain out of school forever. We cannot let this happen.” She said and further urged to lend our support to help take immediate action.

“Together, we can ensure that girls continue to pursue their education and dream their dreams… because when girls get the education they deserve our whole world benefits,” she said as she concluded.
