The World's Missing Girls

Millions of girls are missing. They are missing from school. They are missing from jobs. They are missing from the leadership of their communities and nations.

They are missing because they live in places where just “being a girl” is hard. Twelve million of them every year become child brides and teenage mothers. One hundred thirty million of them are not in school – worldwide, girls are almost twice as likely as boys to miss out on education. Of the more than 600 million unemployed young people in the world, most are female.

Plan International works with communities to tackle the fundamental reasons why girls and women go missing. And ITC Global connects its 24 offices and teaching sites across western and central Africa.
