UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education – 2026 Call for Nominations

UNESCO is calling for nominations for its Prize for Girls' and Women's Education, which awards USD 50,000 each to two laureates recognising outstanding contributions to gender equality in education — a response to the fact that 133 million girls remain out of school worldwide. Nominations close 12 May 2026 (midnight GMT+2), with the ceremony held 9 October 2026, International Day of the Girl.
