Education is a basic right that every child should have, regardless of their gender, race, or socio-economic status. However, in many parts of the world, including Nigeria, girls are often denied this right simply because of their sex and assigned gender roles. At Shades of Us Storytelling Initiative for African People (Shades of Us), we are thankful for organizations like Stand With A Girl (SWAG) Initiative who are dedicated to improving the lives of girls and women in Nigeria through education.
