Girls and boys see gender inequality in their homes and communities every day - in
textbooks, in the media and among the adults who care for them.
Parents may assume unequal responsibility for household work, with mothers bearing the burden of
caregiving and chores. The majority of low-skilled and underpaid community health workers who
attend to children are also women, with limited opportunity for professional growth. And in schools,
many girls receive less support than boys to pursue the studies they choose. This happens for a
variety of reasons: The safety, hygiene and sanitation needs of girls may be neglected, barring them
from regularly attending class. Discriminatory teaching practices and education materials also
produce gender gaps in learning and skills development. As a result, nearly 1 in 4 girls between the
ages of 15 and 19 are neither employed nor in education or training - compared to 1 in 10 boys.
Yet, in early childhood, gender inequality starts out small. Girls have higher survival rates at
birth, are more likely to be developmentally on track, and are just as likely to participate in
preschool. Among those who reach secondary school, girls tend to outperform boys in reading across
every country where data are available. But the onset of adolescence can bring significant barriers to
girls’ well-being. Gender norms and discrimination increase their risk of unwanted pregnancy, HIV
and AIDS. Besides, girls are cut off from the information and supplies they need to stay healthy and
safe in some places.
Despite major hurdles that still deny them equal rights, girls refuse to limit their ambitions.
More and more girls are attending and completing school, and fewer are getting married or
becoming mothers while still children themselves. But discrimination and limiting stereotypes
remain common. That’s why girls from all walks of life are raising their voices against inequality.
Girl-led movements are stopping child marriage, demanding action on climate change, and
pioneering in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) - asserting their power
as global change-makers.
