RE: The Coalition for Adolescent Girls

The UN being an international organization with worldwide reach is concerned with peace.  Peace is influenced by several things, but one of the most important ones are education and poverty. Both are related, when there is poverty there usually is not enough education for the population meaning that they don’t have enough skills to grow and develop which leads to no wealth grow. The Coalition for Adolescent Girls, an international organization of the UN, has as its main goal to educate young women around the world to be educated enough to be independent and be able to make correct decisions.

The Coalition works by going into the places where these problems occur and builds schools for the young. They try to teach everyone at least to high school, but when girls are old enough to start having babies they are focused on. They are taught independence, how to work, how to say no to men, and other things that will help the girls how to manage a healthy family that will be sustainable.

This organization takes into account how this same problem affects several cultures and tries to teach them in a way that is appropriate for them. In some affiliated countries to this organization the way taught to women is very different to others. For example, let’s say there is a country affiliated to the organization with a religion similar to that of the Middle East, where women don’t have the same rights, labors and obligations as women from a country like US or places near Russia.

The Coalition for Adolescent Girls main goal is to reduce poverty by education. Women are the main piece of society and economy, and as important as they are in lots of places they are not taught correctly how to make decisions, this organization reminds us that women are really important.
