Supporting girls to develop to their full potential has a catalytic effect in breaking the inter-generational cycle of poverty. For example, girls who benefit from a quality secondary education will be better equipped to make informed choices, improving not only their own lives, but also those of their children, families and communities.
Everyone benefits, including boys and men. But despite some hard-won gains for gender equality in the past 15 years, girls and women across the world continue to be disproportionately affected by poverty, injustice, violence, disease and discrimination, including in their national legislation and legal systems.
In many societies, girls and women are subject to deep-rooted and harmful social norms, attitudes and behaviours that assign them a lower economic, political and social status than men and boys, even where there is legal protection against gender and age discrimination. Violence continues to be perpetrated against women and girls all over the world — within families, in schools, in communities and in society at large — often with impunity.
Girls and young women often do not have control over important decisions that have a major impact on their health and well-being, such as the opportunity to choose if, when and with whom to start a family.
