Girls’ rights
Can the movement achieve lasting change?
A movement to protect and expand girls' rights around the
world is gaining support from governments, international
donors and advocacy groups. Improving girls' lives is not
only a moral issue — research shows it also speeds
economic development. Activists are pushing to end child
marriage, educate all girls, improve their reproductive health
and reduce violence and discrimination against them.
Although girls' mortality and school enrollment rates have
been improving, obstacles remain. Nearly 120 million girls
do not attend primary school, and 15 million girls under 18
marry each year, often under duress, ending their schooling
and putting them at risk for domestic violence and health
complications. In some countries girls' progress is
threatened by religious extremists, such as the Taliban in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria
and Boko Haram in Nigeria. Activists say that to have lasting
effects, girls' rights campaigns must establish effective onthe-ground programs that change societal attitudes as well
as local policies.
