As Malala Yousafzai expresses in her foreword, the idea that any child
could be denied an education due to poverty, custom, the law, or terrorist

wide-ranging returns.

a compelling work for both concerned global citizens, and any academic, expert,
nongovernmental organization (NGO) staff member, policymaker, or journalist
seeking to dive into the evidence and policies on girls education.
