This report is part of Plan International Australia's of evidence-based advocacy initiative. This year's report is published in the midst of a global recession which brings its topic sharply into focus. It presents new analysis of the important role that girls and young women play in economic growth and the missed opportunities of failing to invest in their futures. Many girls face harsh challenges from birth and the report is also a call to action to invest early in girls' education and meaningful work opportunities to ensure a more prosperous and equitable society. It's in everyone's interest to invest in girls.
