Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 64
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur would like to note that the illustrative goal proposed in the report of the High-level Panel related to women's empowerment seems to be a regression as compared to the second Millennium Development Goal to promote gender equality, including in access to primary and secondary and technical education. Achieving a girl's right to education as a priority is an absolute requirement, as historically women have suffered from injustice, and girls and women constitute a majority of those who remain deprived of education.
