Being a woman is something to be proud of, but it includes many challenges, particularly when it comes to education. Social, economic, and cultural systems throughout almost the entire world often do not support women’s literacy. However, adult educators can help women overcome barriers and empower themselves and their communities.

Often, it is women’s responsibility to look after the children, their husbands, and at times the extended family. Because of the overwhelming workload at home, women do not have time to train for high-paying jobs. Employers are sometimes hesitant to hire women because they worry about having to provide maternity leave and they assume that women will have difficulties with childcare. Taking low-paying jobs means that women have to work extra hours to catch up with the bills. With all these pressures, it is hard for women to find the time to engage in educational programs and, anyway, they are often too tired to take on additional class work.
