Sure... educating specifically only the girls is #6 on the list.

Why would they have to bring feminism into that? I mean sure, it's a good thing to educate everyone. But why mix it?

How can I trust all the other points on the list now? What if they are also just pushing some other political agenda?

I can't. They just compromised the list's integrity by that.

Women's education and empowerment is negatively correlated with the number of children they bear.
Did you read that section to see why they think it'll help? It doesn't sound like politics to me.
Yes I did. Because educated people have fewer kids... Might be true, but what kind of reason is that even!?

Why not also establish a one-child policy in western countries? Or start actively killing sick people? /s

All the other reasons were basically how it makes lifes better for those women. Which is surely a good thing, but doesn't matter in that context.
