So, <strong>educating girls<\/strong> is<strong> not prioritized<\/strong> like it is for boys. <strong>Limited resources <\/strong>usually <strong>cause parents to think about their sons\u2019 education<\/strong> before their daughters\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marriages and Early Childbearing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Where <strong>child marriage<\/strong> is <strong>common<\/strong>, many girls are<strong> driven to leave school <\/strong>before their time to marry and have children. <strong>Early pregnancies<\/strong> often mean they <strong>cannot attend school <\/strong>because of <strong>prejudice <\/strong>and the <strong>possible health difficulties<\/strong> that arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Household Responsibilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Girls <\/strong>are more often<strong> expected to look after their siblings, prepare meals <\/strong>and <strong>tidy the house<\/strong>.
