Well there is no easy answer to this, but one reason is that some girls here only go through school up to the equivalent of 3rd grade and after that their parents pull them out to do house chores or to help in the field (this happens outside the bigger cities). Boys, are at least generally allowed to stay in school until the equivalent of 6th grade. After that, continuing education can be costly and be denied to both genders. Without the education, it is definitely a lot harder to break the cycle of poverty.
