What has changed for girls in 30 years? A lot. Since 1995, we’ve seen:
- A 39% decrease in out-of-school girls globally.
- The number of adolescent girls giving birth nearly halved.
- Illiteracy in adolescent girls also nearly halved.
- Female genital mutilation rates halved in FGM-heavy countries like Burkina Faso and Liberia.

Give some of the credit to the UN's Beijing Platform for Action, a comprehensive blueprint for gender equality which in 1995 was endorsed by 189 countries. https://data.unicef.org/resources/girl-goals-report/
