According to the United Nations, 115 million primary school-age children still remain out of education. And 54% of those children are girls. The International Women’s Day is a reminder that in many countries women still face major barriers to becoming fully active members of society. Literacy is one vital tool that helps women improve their lives.

To tell the truth I think it's all the intrigues of radical feminists but in this very case you're absolutely right: unfortunately there are huge gaps in our galloping world.
