Fact sheet from Advocates for Youth, Excerpt: Inequities, driven by overwhelming poverty, affect both male and female children in the developing world. Yet cultural traditions, scant economic
resources and limited opportunities marginalize young girls. Young boys have better access to health care, nutrition and education. Gender bias is reinforced throughout adulthood as men retain
economic and political power.
