THESE ARE TRUE FACTS: 360,000 Women die during pregnancy and childbirth; 14 million adolescent girls become mothers every year. Women represent nearly two thirds of the world’s illiterate, 31 million girls are still out of school around the world, The completion rates and learning levels of girls are lower than those of boys, Participation of girls in school decreases as they progress through the education system, Too many girls in developing countries are still shut out of school, denying them their fundamental right to education. More educated women tend to be healthier, work and earn more income, have fewer children, and provide better health care and education to their children. Girls’ education literally saves millions of lives, according to UNICEF. As there are thousands of non-government organizations focusing on Women and Girls, there are hundreds of donor organizations supporting the projects for improving the lives of women and girls and securing their human rights for a better world free of discrimination and towards the end to poverty and hunger.

Why there are still lots of barriers to non-profit local initiative to get required support to respond to the situation of women in their particular areas from the so called International donor organizations/agencies?
