Good Luck.
It is hardly surprising news, but a new report shows that girls and women are those hit hardest the global recession. The study is the organizations Plan International, which is working to reduce child poverty, and the Overseas Development Institute - the UK's leading independent think tank international development and humanitarian issues. They state that: "The world is failing girls and women." The report’s author Nigel Chapman said: "Girls are the largest marginalised group the world." Mr Chapman added: “Much the problem lies ‘entrenched gender inequality’.” Chapman found that a worsening economy results females all ages having to work harder and suffering more domestic abuse.

Mr Chapman’s report highlights a tragic increase mortality rates female infants. He told the BBC: “The proportion baby girls who died when the economy shrank rose five times faster than the proportion baby boys who died….Hence, a 1% fall economic output increases infant mortality 7.4 deaths per 1,000 girls against 1.5 boys.” He paints an equally bleak picture girls not being able to complete their education. He reports that the global recession saw a fall primary school completion girls of 29% compared 22% for boys. "Girls get sucked domestic chores," he said. "Once they stop going school it's very hard to get back the rhythm things."
