The Reality: Too many pastoralist girls are denied the chance to dream. Many are never enrolled in school at all. Those who make it often drop out, only to be married off as children, cut through the cruelty of FGM, or forced into labor that robs them of their childhood. Their futures are decided for them, their voices silenced before they can even speak. This is not just a loss for the girls — it is a loss for entire communities and generations to come.
