Summary: Innovative global mapping resource that translates the facts and figures about adolescent girls in the developing world into compelling visual stories, and more.
The welfare of adolescent girls is crucial in determining economic and social outcomes for countries today, and in the future. For girls to become healthy mothers, productive citizens and economic contributors, their unique needs must be seen and understood. Yet today, adolescent girls are undercounted and so underserved. Counting them is the first step to increasing their visibility. Girls Discovered takes that first step. As a comprehensive source of maps and data on the status of adolescent girls worldwide, Girls Discovered helps donors, policy makers and implementing agencies target their investments. This one-stop shop for information on adolescent girls is sourced from organisations operating in the public interest, and is meant for researchers, practitioners, advocates, policy-makers and the public – anyone who seeks change for the world’s 600 million adolescent girls.
