Counting the Invisible
Millions of girls are ‘invisible’ to governments and policy makers because vital data is not being recorded about their lives.
‘Counting the Invisible’ explores the current state of gender data and exposes the gaps: we don’t count how many girls leave school because of early marriage, pregnancy or violence, exactly how many give birth before they turn 15, how many hours a day they spend working, what kind of work they do and whether they get paid for it.
The new report from Plan International reveals how improving the information we have about girls will help create a just world and equality for all.
Plan International USA evaluates the effectiveness of its Global Women in Management (GWIM) program.
Evaluating 10 Years of Advancing Women’s Leadership.
For over a decade, the ExxonMobil Foundation’s Women’s Economic Opportunity Initiative (WEOI) – a global effort to help women in developing countries fulfill their economic potential and serve as drivers of economic and social change in their communities—has invested in Plan International USA’s Global Women in Management (GWIM) program.
To measure the long-term effects of the GWIM program, Plan administered a mixed-methods evaluation (online survey of program alumni from the past ten years; focus group discussions with alumni and in-depth interviews with alumni and their supervisors). Though the online survey data are self-reported, this evaluation also triangulated findings from other program documents, including the six-month followon survey conducted after each GWIM workshop as well as other evaluation reports. Combined, these data provide essential information for not only assessing program outcomes, but also for improving future program design and implementation.

The Unfinished Business of Girls’ Rights
The State of the World’s Girls 2015 report is a collection of essays by a diverse group of writers, activists and politicians, based on the different themes of the report series.
Writers tackle girls and the economy, conflict and disaster, the role of men and boys, the digital divide: girls and technology, education, and the question of power. We look at progress made and the work that needs to be done in this pivotal year of 2015 as the MDGs are replaced by the SDGs. How will adolescent girls’ rights be protected, and what can and should we do to promote gender justice?
This report will generate a debate around the State of the World’s Girls which will reach beyond the parameters of gender and development to embrace the voices, opinions and stories of a wide range of influential writers, activists and thinkers from diverse locations, backgrounds and political affiliations.
