Yes it is if the context is global.

Oxford dictionary:

privilege - a special right or advantage that a particular person or group of people has

1st example there: Education should be a universal right and not a privilege.

Globally, it's a privilege. Worldwide many girls can not get it. Or poor.

Even clean water is a privilege on a global scale. Perhaps in USA as well, ehm see Flint.

Language evolves. It's 21st century, privilege isn't about feudal taxes anymore. Queue meant tail and gay happy.
