Reply to comment by AureliusAlbright in New project aims to bring education to 10 million girls in rural India by Sidjoneya

Because boys are already being sent to school at much higher rates. Getting them to the same rates means investing in education for girls.

Are all boys being sent to school? Like i have seen many boys working in various jobs instead of going to school. Of course it's not bad as the girls but as both sexes are human, we should also do something about the boy too no? Misandrist people here give same energy as that Americans city which promised to give money to homeless people but they have to be women homeless people.

I don't know what the actual stats are, but if, say, 70% of boys go to school but only 20% of girls, of course you would start by helping the girls. It's not unfair to focus your attention on the most underserved group first. Yes, ultimately they should make sure all kids can go to school, but they have to start somewhere.
