Drought in African Puts More Than 3.6 Million Students at Risk of Dropping Out

 With a drought occurring in the Horn of Africa after missing nearly 4 rainy seasons more than 3.6 million students are at risk for dropping out of school to move with their families. Most of these students dropping out happen to be girls, the article says "some of the girls got married, some of them moved to other places because their parents migrated from here due to the drought." When this happens and girls are forced to leave school they feel as if their rights are being taken away and for a good reason, they are. Everyone has the right to an education and it's not their faults they don't get the chance to receive a good education.
