Everything is harder for girls, say Bill and Melinda Gates.
The statement comes from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s third annual Goalkeepers Data Report, published Tuesday.
Gender inequality cuts across every single country on Earth,” the report, co-authored by the Gates, said. “No matter where you are born, your life will be harder if you are born a girl.”
And “If you are born in a poor country or district, it will be even harder,” they continue.
One way to combat this is to continually reward and motivate girls. They will focus on thriving once they feel the appreciation and value, but equally importantly, other girls watching this reward system, will aspire and work hard toward thriving too.
That's the concept between this project. When a girl does well, let's celebrate it. Subjects girls excel in often do not get funding for prizes, grants, etc. Let's change all of that. Let's change that with this project. Now.
Thank you for helping make a difference.
