## Resource

The UK government has abruptly canceled a two-year, £45 million education initiative aimed at empowering one million girls across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East — a move critics say undermines global commitments to women’s safety and opportunity. As part of a broader trend, visa restrictions for women from conflict zones like Afghanistan and Sudan further limit access to education. While officials cite national security and rising defense spending, development groups warn this contradicts Britain’s stated values — arguing that higher education remains one of the most transformative tools for marginalized girls.
