New York, SANA \u2013 The United Nation Population Fund stressed that achieving sustainable development will not be possible without making better use of the capabilities of society’s members, particularly 10-year-old girls.<\/p>\n
The 2016 State of World Population report noted that of 125 million 10-year-olds today, 60 million are girls who are systematically disadvantaged at the global level as they move through adolescence into adulthood.<\/p>\n
It stated that “practices that harm girls and violate their human rights-starting at age 10-prevent them from realizing their full potential as adults and from contributing to the economic and social progress of their communities and nations.”<\/p>\n
“Young people aged between 10 and 24 constitute 29% of the Arab region’s overall population, half of them are girls. Only 45% of these girls go to schools,” the report added.<\/p>\n
On October 20, 2016, the United Nations Population Fund launched its State of World Population Report globally, including via its 23 country and sub-regional offices across Asia-Pacific. This year’s theme focuses on the crucial need to fulfill the potential of 10-year-old girls in this era of the Sustainable Development Goals if we are to realize the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda with its pledge to leave no one behind.<\/p>\n
