Description
It's not as if we have not been investing in girls who call the developing world home. Reams of annual reports attest to well-meaning efforts on the part of many. And that includes investments in health and education, the focus of the pungent clarion call offered by Miriam Temin, Ruth Levine, and Sandy Stonesifer in the spring 2010 Issues. What sets "Start with a Girl: A New Agenda for Global Health" apart is the contextual filter through which girls are viewed. No longer should girls (and especially adolescent girls) be viewed only as children deserving of all we can offer. Girls of today are and must be thought of as the women of tomorrow. It is the women of the developing world, separate and distinct from their male counterparts, who are broadly and rightly viewed as holding the key to progress. Simply put, without investing in women, and hence in girls, little meaningful change for the better can be anticipated in arenas as diverse as education, economic growth and productivity, climate change, and even national security. It is no accident that the 2009 rollout of an expanded version of "Start with a Girl" at the Washington, DC-based Center for Global Development was headlined by Melanne S. Verveer, the first-ever U.S. Ambassa-dor-at-Large for Global Women's Issues.
