GIRLS FIRST! Perspectives on Girl-Centered Programming
GIRLS FIRST! Perspectives on Girl-Centered Programming is a review of existing programs and policies for adolescent girls.

Topics include: novel ways to collect and use data on adolescent girls, the best ways to cultivate girl leaders, innovative approaches to improving girls’ health, where to go next with education for girls, and how to reframe the field’s approach to violence against girls.

Brief 3: “The health of vulnerable adolescent girls: A strategic return on investment” by Jennifer Catino outlines innovative approaches to improving girls’ health
