In #SouthSudan, like in many parts of the🌐, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have often been considered a domain for men. But with mentors like Eva, We can break such stereotypes.

In South Sudan, 84% of girls over 15 are illiterate and just 8% go to secondary school.
The UK-led Girls Education South Sudan programme has supported over 1.2m girls to access school.
In Bentiu, I met schoolgirls to hear about how this programme has transformed their futures.
