Despite significant achievements in areas such as education 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.
A new report Girl Goals: What has changed for girls? Adolescent girls’ rights over 30 years – launched by UNICEF, Plan International and UN Women ahead of International Women’s Day – reviews how adolescent girls’ lives have changed in the last 30 years since the Beijing Platform for Action was endorsed by 189 governments in 1995.
This year’s State of the World’s Girls Report focuses on the experiences
of young people whose lives are dominated by conflict.
Our 2023 Impact Report highlights the results of the generous investments made by our Girls Education and Empowerment Fund (GEEFund) donors.
