What is a Girl’s Worth?
A campaign of posters commissioned by Plan: Norway. The text reads:
In many places girls are seen as less worth than boys. They have less education, less food, are often forced marriage at a young age, gender dismembered and raped. Where children have it bad girls have it worst.
This is in strong contrast to who contributes the most later in life. By helping a girl she will only use 10% of what she earns for herself. The rest she will share with family and community. Boys, however, use 60-70% themselves. This is fact, and one of the reasons why we in the Plan through many years, has had extra focus on girls. Plan takes no political or religious positions and jobs for children’s rights, but in many countries it seems that they have forgotten that girls are children. Children that is profitable to focus on. Go into plan-norge.no and find out more about why girls are worth more than boys!
