State of the World’s Girls 2023

Turning the World Around – girls and young women activists leading the fight for equality.

The 2023 State of the World’s Girls report is focused on girls’ and young women’s activism. The research, one of the largest studies of girl and young women activists to date, involved over 1,000 adolescent girls and young women across 26 countries. The research is ground-breaking, not least because the face-to-face interviews were led by 70 young women researchers who are themselves activists and their findings are supported by focus group discussions using participatory techniques.

The State of the World’s Girls is a series of research reports released every year for the International Day of the Girl.
