The State of the World’s Girls 2015

The State of the World’s Girls 2015 report is a collection of essays by a diverse group of writers, activists and politicians, based on the different themes of the report series.

Writers tackle girls and the economy, conflict and disaster, the role of men and boys, the digital divide: girls and technology, education, and the question of power. We look at progress made and the work that needs to be done in this pivotal year of 2015 as the MDGs are replaced by the SDGs. How will adolescent girls’ rights be protected, and what can and should we do to promote gender justice?

This report will generate a debate around the State of the World’s Girls which will reach beyond the parameters of gender and development to embrace the voices, opinions and stories of a wide range of influential writers, activists and thinkers from diverse locations, backgrounds and political affiliations.
