Highlights

Girl Goals examines how the lives of adolescent girls have changed since the Beijing Platform for Action was endorsed by 189 countries in 1995. Taking stock of progress for girls over the past three decades, this report examines statistical and data trends across key areas, and benchmarks historical gains against further effort required to meet 16 Sustainable Development Goals for adolescent girls by 2030.

Change is possible, and this report shows that great gains have been made. Smart investments now can transform the world for girls, families, communities and national economies. It is time to act.
