The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today launched its third annual Goalkeepers Data Report, which concluded that, no matter where anyone is born, life is harder for the girl child.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today launched its third annual Goalkeepers Data Report, which concluded that, no matter where anyone is born, life is harder for the girl child.

The report also features new data showing that while progress on health and development continues unabated, global inequality remains a major barrier to achieving the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals . “Gaps between countries, districts, and boys and girls prove that the world’s investments in development aren’t reaching everyone.”

“Despite gains in female educational attainment, opportunities for girls are limited by social norms, discriminatory laws and policies, and gender-based violence,” Gates laments. To address persistent inequality, Bill and Melinda Gates are calling for a new approach to development, targeting the poorest people in the countries and districts that need to make up the most ground.

Let's say girls born in the west are doing better than boys in Africa (economically or whatever parameters measure). Or same girls in Africa doing better than their counterparts in the Middle East (as per inequality!?). Maybe there's something more than just gender at play!
