Description
This exploration of the "Because I am a Girl" call to action tells stories of individual girls throughout the world. In their own words, they tell us: "Because I am a girl, I eat if there is food left over when everyone is done" and "I am the poorest of the poor." The later stories are about hope, with chapters like "Because I am a girl, I will share what I know" and " I am the heart of my community" and "I can change the world." Filled with documentary photography from Plan's amazing collection. Includes "Did You Know" fact sections. Rosemary McCarney, former President and CEO of Plan International Canada and author of Every Day is Malala Day, created this book for middle grade readers inspired by her international development work. Rosemary helped craft Plan's Because I am a Girl global initiative to end gender inequality, promote girls' rights, and lift millions of girls out of poverty. She helped lead the charge for the United Nations to declare October 11th the "International Day of the Girl" recognised annually to advocate for girls' rights globally.
