"Gendered effects of school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic"

The Lancet

Governments worldwide have imple­mented school closures as a preventive measureto  the  spread  of  COVID­19.  According to UNESCO, school closures have  sent  about  90%of  all  students  out of school, among them more than 800 million girls. A substantial number of  these  girls  live  in  the  world’s  least  developed  countries  where  getting  an education  is already a struggle.
