Find out moreBecause I am a Girl: The State of the World's Girls 2007
Because I am a Girl is the most
comprehensive report ever published on why millions of girls
and young women are being condemned to a life of inequality
and poverty. The report states most girls and young women in
the world’s poorest communities are powerlessness, a situation
that should not be allowed to continue.
Because I am a Girl is the first in a series of global reports on girls to be published over the next nine years by Plan and warns that six of the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed by world leaders are likely to fail girls living in poverty. The report warns the goals will be missed altogether unless world leaders adopt a tougher stance on the enforcement of international laws set up to protect girl's rights.
