International: The world’s future hinges on supporting 10-year-old girls, says UN
The Guardian – October 20, 2016
According to the UN population fund’s (UNFPA) state of the world population 2016 report, published on Thursday, the future of 10-year-old girls will shape our collective futures. Getting girls through secondary school could reap billions of dollars a year for poorer countries, claims the study. But the hurdles girls face in reaching adulthood are significant.
