Artwork #13: "Education is for everyone—girls deserve knowledge, too."
By Seob Sopheak
This artwork aims to show the value of education for everyone regardless of age or gender. It conveys the message that we all must work together to promote inclusive and effective education for all. Its reflection reflects the traditional belief that girls don't need to study much because their future is thought to be limited to becoming someone’s wife or just a homemaker. According to that outdated mindset, girls belong only near the kitchen, and therefore, education isn’t seen as important for them.
However, this artwork challenges that belief and emphasizes that in today's society, women have equal rights and opportunities as men. Women now hold important positions and roles in various fields. Therefore, girls absolutely need education and knowledge. It helps them escape ignorance and serves as a form of protection and empowerment for their future.
