In Uganda girls and women are often not thought of as people of value and are almost always seen as second rate to boys and men.
There is a heavily negative attitude towards girls education with UNGEI reporting more than 700,000 girls between the ages of 6 to 12 having never attended school and around half of girls between the ages of 15 to 24 being illiterate.
