- Many countries and societies around the world value sons more than daughters simply because they are male.
- Ending discrimination (unfair treatment) against women and girls is key to development and to ending poverty. Societies in which women have the same opportunities as men are wealthier and prosper more.
- Fighting gender discrimination can be difficult because it can go against local traditions. There are projects that focus on making people understand that a girl child is just as valuable and important as a boy child, and that women are as smart and capable as men.
