Girls carry generations of potential and impact. They are essentially the carriers of the future, yet they face significant challenges to their well-being and development. Despite significant achievements over the last three decades, millions of adolescent girls across the world today are still out of school, ill-equipped for the future, facing gaps in life-saving health services, and at risk of harmful practices such as child marriage, female genital mutilation, violence and abuse. This undermines their ability to reach their full potential and drive development. Recognizing the potential that girls hold for the future, numerous efforts have focused on improving the situation of girls. This joint report by the United Nations Children’s Fund, UN Women and Plan International, Girl Goals takes stock of the progress of all the investments in girls to inform future interventions. It delves into the strides made in promoting girls’ rights, highlighting key areas such as child protection, education and health. https://data.unicef.org
