My image highlights the gender disparity in education by depicting a classroom filled mostly with African boys, emphasizing the absence of girls. The statistic, *“Girls are 4x less likely to attend school than boys from the same background,”* is prominently displayed to reinforce the stark reality of this imbalance. The composition draws attention to the systematic exclusion of girls from educational spaces, making their absence feel as significant as the presence of the boys. Through this visual contrast, I aim to underscore the deep-rooted barriers that prevent girls from accessing education and provoke reflection on the urgent need for change.
