From the author of Every Day is Malala Day. Because I am a Girl is a global initiative from Plan International to end gender inequality, promote girls' rights and lift millions of girls out of poverty.

But it ends with the inspiring section ""Because I am a Girl, I can change the world."" Each part begins with one real girl's story, illustrated with Plan's amazing photographs.
