Empowering Adolescent Girls in Developing Countries: The Potential Role of Education
Murphy-Graham, Erin; Lloyd, Cynthia
Policy Futures in Education, v14 n5 p556-577 Jun 2016
This article proposes a conceptual framework for how education can promote adolescent girls' empowerment and, by mapping the field, highlights promising examples of empowering education programs. We conclude by identifying both research and programmatic opportunities for the future that will harness the expertise of a range of specialists from the interdisciplinary fields of gender studies and adolescent development in collaboration with experts from the fields of education, health, and labor.
