UN Women in partnership with BHP Foundation is seeking to create a global second chance model for the world’s most disadvantaged women who have missed out on education and are at risk of being left behind.

The Second Chance Education and Vocational Training programme is being piloted in Cameroon, Jordan, India, Mexico, Chile and Australia, directly benefitting 67,000 women from indigenous, refugee, displaced and low-income groups. Through local organisations, the Second Chance programme gives women support that is tailored to their needs as learners and earners.
