The 2021 Asia-Pacific Girls Report is Plan International’s annual research report concerning girls in the Asia-Pacific region. It is part of our contribution towards the Sustainable Development Agenda.
Across the region, girls and young women continue to face discriminatory perceptions and structural barriers that limit their ability to develop leadership capabilities and exercise their voice, choice and power.
This research is an important step in determining the specific needs of girls and young women and addressing persisting issues throughout the region and to measure the opportunities of adolescent girls and young women to develop and demonstrate their leadership capabilities and unique voice.
