Published in time for the United Nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s International Day of the Family, the report, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a Girl: The State of the World\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Girls,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d compiles and analyzes global statistics that illustrate the prevalence of gender discrimination. Among the report\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s findings is the fact that young women between the ages of 15 and 19 are the victims of half of all sexual assaults worldwide. Also, of the 1.5 billion people living on less than a dollar per day, 70 percent are female. 450 million women suffer stunted growth due to malnutrition. Plan International, a global child development agency, has launched a campaign to improve gender inequalities in conjunction with the release of the report. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a Girl,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is just the first in a series of nine studies that will run until 2015. The report concludes by outlining an eight point action plan in order to change course on the reality of gender inequality in our world today. It cautions that if actions are not taken, the UN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s millennium development goals will be out of reach and the rights of girls and women will continue to be abused. <\/p>\n<p>For more information and to download the report, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.becauseiamagirl.org\">www.becauseiamagirl.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Marie Staunton, Chief Executive at Plan International UK Millions of girls and young women are victim to staggering gender inequalities across the world according to a new report from Plan International.
