- Description
- This report presents a new analysis of the economic cost of failing to educate girls. Based on World Bank research and economic data and UNESCO education statistics, it estimates the economic cost to 65 low and middle income and transitional countries of failing to educate girls to the same standard as boys as a staggering US$92 billion each year. This is just less than the $103bn annual overseas development aid budget of the developed world.

- Description
- This report draws on the experience and observations of World Vision field staff working in a variety of countries and cultural contexts where girls are commonly married before they’re fully physically or emotionally grown. The insights of these local and international humanitarian workers are here combined with the stories of individuals affected by the practise of early marriage. In pairing these viewpoints with findings from existing research, this publication hopes to provide insight into the complexities surrounding child marriage and the need for integrated approaches to address its causes and lay an economic, educational and cultural foundation that will allow communities to embrace other options for their girl children.

- Description
- In this master thesis, the author focuses on children's toys and the way they are gendered. The aim is not only to point out how toys and playthings are divided between the sexes, but to go one step further. The author also wants to bring in the category of gener neutral toys, because they are neglected so far in the research of toys.
