Really important to remember. Also see attitudes: http://www.prb.org/DataFinder/Topic/Rankings.aspx?ind=295
Far far too common - and sadly often perpetrated by those closest to them.

Celebrating the International Day of the Girl
Join the U.S. Department of State on October 9 at 7:30am EDT for a Google+ Hangout with U.S. Ambassador for Global Women’s Issues Cathy Russell and girls from around the world to discuss challenges and opportunities to empower adolescent girls to achieve their full potential.
Despite gains over the last 15 years in closing the gender gap, especially in primary education, far too many girls continue to face far too many barriers. The facts are startling:
• 250 million girls live in poverty.
• One in three girls in the developing world is married by the time she is 18.
• Every year, three million girls are at risk for female genital mutilation/cutting on the African continent alone.
• 62 million girls worldwide are out of school.
The United States recognizes that empowering, educating, and investing in adolescent girls not only improves girls' lives; it improves entire communities, countries, and societies, spurring gains on key development outcomes. As the United States develops a strategy to more fully empower girls everywhere, and as the world sets a new development agenda, we want to hear from you. What are your questions, stories, or ideas to empower girls?
Join this very important conversation by posting your thoughts, questions, and ideas on Google+ or Twitter using #DayOfGirl and watch the hangout live on October 9.
