Adolescent Girls – The Investment Case
Investing in girls is not only the right thing to do for girls, it will also have positive impacts on their families, their communities, and their societies - now, in the future, and even into the next generation.
About
The advancement of gender equality and the empowerment of girls and women are central to UNICEF’s mandate to ensure every child is protected, healthy, and educated. Recognising the need for accelerated action so we do not leave girls behind, in 2022, UNICEF developed a new vision for programming with and for adolescent girls: the Adolescent Girls Programme Strategy.
The Strategy sets a goal of supporting, at minimum, girl-centred programmes in 30 countries that directly impact 20 million adolescent girls. In this report, Adolescent Girls - the Investment Case, we demonstrate that investing in girls is not only the right thing to do for girls, it will also have positive impacts on their families, their communities, and their societies - now, in the future, and even into the next generation.
