Girls & COVID

A ground-breaking research project led by girls from Australia and Vietnam has mapped out a vision for a better and more equal post-COVID world.

Gender stereotypes embedded in language can have a significant effect on the way women are treated in STEM industries, according to a new study from the US.

Girls are at risk of gender-based violence, child marriage and forced marriage, according to Plan International and Save the Children.

Against the odds, there are countless communities of girls and young women who are working tirelessly to create change for the better during the pandemic.

This emergency for girls has already caused a sharp uptick in potentially deadly unintended pregnancies, child marriages, and sexual abuse.

Concerns about the impact of COVID-19 outbreaks in refugee camps cannot be overstated and the wider consequences for girls and young women are devastating.
