This is the eighth in the annual ‘Because I am a Girl’ report series, published by Plan, which assesses the current state of the world’s girls. While women and children are recognised in policy and planning, girls’ needs and rights are often ignored. The reports provide evidence, including the voices of girls themselves, as to why they need to be treated differently from boys and adult women. They also use information from primary research, in particular a small study set up in 2006 following 142 girls from nine countries. …

In this article, we make the case that HIV/AIDS clubs in Ugandan schools provide valuable information to students who may not have easy access to health services. As one club motto suggests, the clubs ‘talk what others think you can’t talk’. The innovative peer education methods, which include drama, popular culture and community outreach all have great appeal to youth, and provide unique opportunities for female students to raise gender issues and develop leadership skills. …

Este documento ha sido diseñado con el objetivo de apoyar nuestra labor como integrantes de la comunidad educadora al momento de identificar estilos de relaciones y enseñanza que se dan en la escuela, para que podamos descubrir cómo estamos contribuyendo a erradicar o mantener pautas violentas, estereotipos de género o esquemas de limitado protagonismo juvenil. La idea es que observemos conductas, actitudes y acciones que quizá antes no habíamos tomado en cuenta, con las cuales podemos fortalecer un ambiente escolar basado en el respeto y la equidad. …
During the past ten years, attention on bullying has intensified among educators, parents, journalists, and educational researchers in the wake of high-profile incidents of bullying in some Canadian schools. Safe schools policies and programs have proliferated as a result. However, the issue of homophobia - a pervasive form of bullying - tends to be absent from public discussion, anti-bullying programs, and so-called safe schools policies. This essay explores the politics of bullying and of related policies and programs. …
The purpose of this Women's Workshop Curriculum is to support a truly sustainable HIV response in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region, centered on positive leadership, women's leadership, prevention, education, and mentorship, as well as gender equity and sensitivity.

The Pacific is home to some of the world's smallest, least developed, and most isolated communities. Development progress over the past 30 years, particularly in economic growth and poverty reduction, has been slow, uneven, and in some countries, even negative. Pacific island countries have also experienced pockets of instability with social and political unrest, civil conflicts and natural disasters all contributing to the region's development burden. The region's vulnerability is compounded by the impacts of climate change and globalization. …

In 2005, a quarter of a century into the pandemic, governments seemed on the verge of concerted action to end AIDS, as they finally promised to strive towards universal access to prevention, treatment and care by 2010. However, two years later there is still no financing plan to achieve universal access; clinics and hospitals are still starved of nurses and supplies; 90% of children in need are still not getting social support and the cost of much needed new drugs and diagnostics is unaffordable. …
