REPORT SUMMARY. A Better Normal: Girls call for a revolutionary reset.

Young people around the world, particularly girls and gender-diverse folks, are physically threatened, racially abused, sexually harassed and body shamed online and it gets worse when they raise their voices and share their opinions.
