Description
Summary:Despite complaints about a “boy crisis” in schools, girls in many parts of the world continue to face unnecessary obstacles to getting an adequate education. Many experience sexual assault and harassment at school, lack bathroom facilities they need during their menstrual periods, and must contend with gender stereotyping that keeps them from expressing their true identities. Sally A. Nuamah suggests that feminist schools address these inequities and put all children on an equitable footing as they pursue an education.
