From the girl child to girls' rights

Article Abstract:

Field and documentary research across East, South and Southeast Asia suggests that the girl child has not really benefited from the national programmes or local projects in support of girls. Gender divisions, hierarchies and stereotypes in childhood have to be changed if there is to be any reorientation in familiar entitlements or expectations as otherwise girls are likely to remain the most neglected of social categories in country policies and programmes within the development context.
