Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Terre des Hommes reports a global decline in the rights of millions of girls, according to its latest Indifesa dossier. The foundation noted that for the first time in 15 years, the report shows a drastic global worsening in key areas, specifically education, health, and efforts to combat gender-based violence.

The organization stated that funding cuts are the primary cause of these setbacks, with girls and young women bearing the brunt of the consequences. Africa is identified as the continent most affected by these declines.

Paolo Ferrara, the director of the foundation, attributed these dramatic figures to specific political decisions. He stated that new alliances are necessary to reverse the current trend.
