ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Girls' rights

Girls' rights are like rules that we all agree to follow to make sure that girls are treated fairly and with respect. It means that boys and girls should have the same opportunities to learn, play, and live their lives the way they want to. It also means that girls should be protected from harm and should be allowed to make choices about their own lives.

For example, some places in the world used to think that girls shouldn't go to school or get jobs, but girls' rights say that is wrong and unfair. Girls should be able to go to school, get an education, and choose their own careers just like boys can.

Girls' rights also mean that girls should be safe from harm. No one should hurt or abuse a girl just because of her gender. Girls should be able to feel safe in their homes, schools, and communities.

It's important to remember that girls' rights are universal – they apply to girls all around the world. Even though girls might grow up in different cultures and have different beliefs, they still deserve to be treated equally and with respect.
