The document discusses the plight and power of girls around the world. It notes that millions of girls face barriers to survival and development simply because they are girls. The document outlines some of the challenges girls face, such as lack of access to education, health care, and discrimination. However, it also discusses the power girls have to uplift themselves and their communities when they reach their full potential. The document proposes plans to help empower girls through initiatives focused on nutrition, water, health, education, microfinance, and maternal/child health. It promotes the International Day of the Girl as an opportunity to advocate for girls' rights globally.

Read each scenario:
Scenario 1: While children are working on an art project in the classroom, the teacher overhears Amanda say, "Boys can’t use the pink paper!" Not wanting to escalate the situation, the teacher ignores the comment. A few minutes later, the teacher sees Amanda grab a piece of pink paper out of Miguel’s hands. Miguel begins to cry. The teacher intervenes by asking Amanda to apologize to Miguel for hurting his feelings.
Scenario 2: When dropping off his daughter at the day care center, a father approaches the coordinator with a complaint. "My daughter tells me that she is getting picked on by some of the other children because of the way she speaks. They call her a baby. Now, she doesn’t want to come here in the morning." He is clearly upset. The coordinator responds by stating, "I have not seen or heard any of this happen to your child. You know, we spend a great deal of time talking to the children about how to respect each others’ differences. We have a very accepting environment here. There is really no need for you to worry. I’m sure it will all work itself out."
Use the follow questions to address each scenario:
· How effectively did the early childhood professional respond to the given situation? Where do the responses fall short? Identify references and examples from the reading to support your ideas.
· What might the early childhood professional have said or done to improve the quality of the interactions and better promote an anti-bias learning environment?
The, rewrite the above scenarios in such a way that the early childhood professional facilitates positive interactions with children and families that exemplify ways to build respectful, supportive anti-bias learning communities. Include an explanation of any follow-up actions, activities and/or discussions that might also be helpful for each situation.

As Plan celebrates its 75th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at some of the amazing sponsors that have changed the life of children around the world. Meet Lois and Dugald MacTavish who sponsored 40 children over nearly 40 years.
When Plan donor, Penelope, travelled to China to see her sponsored child, Wei, she created a series of in-depth blog posts (http://themiyamotoblogs.com/) and took photos to document her experience. Here are selected photos from that trip.
Child sponsorship in Cambodia - A visit with ChendaPlan Canada
When Canadian donors John & Daphne visited sponsored child Chenda in Cambodia, they gave her their digital camera to use. Here is how Chenda viewed her world.
Learn about what a group of donors saw when they travelled to Rwanda to visit a primary school project that they – along with other Canadians – helped to fund.
November 20 is Universal Children’s Day – a day to promote the rights and well-being of children and to mark the day that the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
The CRC is made up of 54 articles – or rights – and, as shown in the slideshow below, many of them are directly connected to the work that Plan does.

2. The GIRL ISSUE is real, and it’s affecting girls and
women around the world – but what is it?
The
The Girl Effect, courtesy of The Nike Foundation
3. The POWER and PLIGHT of GIRLS
There’s an urgent need to stand up for the rights of millions of girls around the world who
face barriers to survival and development, simply because they’re girls.
4. “I never understand why boys and girls are not equal to each other. In rural areas elders
think
that girls are born to give birth and to marry and for cleaning the house. Girls who live in
rural areas…are not sent to school. Their parents are not aware of the changing world
yet.”
- Girl, 15, Turkey Because I am a Girl: State of the World’s Girls Report (2007)
5. Plan’s Because I am a Girl Reports
The State of the World‟s Girls is a nine part series examining the development of girls
around
the world. Over time, these reports will build a picture of how gender affects the lives of
girls around the world.
6. The PLIGHT of GIRLS
Discrimination against young girls and women remains deeply entrenched and widely
tolerated around the world.
Seventy percent of the 1.5 billion people living on $1.25 a day or less are female.

8. The POWER of GIRLS
Despite the obstacles girls face, they have a unique power to uplift not only themselves,
but everyone around them.
9. “When girls reach their full potential, through improved status, better health care,
and education, it is the most effective development tool for society as a whole. As a
country‟s primary enrolment rate for girls increases, so too does its
gross domestic product per capita.”
- Kofi Annan, former United Nations Secretary General

11. The PLAN for GIRLS
• Nutrition
• Clean water
• Heath centres
• Food security
• Girl scholarships
• School construction
• Training opportunities
• Business skills education
• Entrepreneurial initiatives
• Birth certificate registration
12. The PLAN for GIRLS: Water & Sanitation
A clean supply of water ensures health and hygiene.
A source of safe water close to home means girls can go to
school instead of spending their time travelling to collect
clean water.
13. “Progress in child health is unlikely to be sustained if one third of the developing world‟s
children remain without access to clean drinking water and half of them are without
adequate sanitary facilities.”
UN Plan of Action from the World Declaration on Children
14. The PLAN for GIRLS: Maternal & Child Health
Provides nourishment and care for expectant mothers, and children with limited access to
food and health care.
15. The PLAN for GIRLS: Education
Many girls stay home while their brothers go to school.
Send girls to school and see their futures improve as they learn valuable skills, delay
marriage and pregnancy.
16. “There is no tool for development more effective than the education of girls. If we are to
succeed in our efforts to build a more healthy, peaceful and equitable world, the
classrooms of the world have to be full of girls as well as boys.”
Kofi Annan, former United Nations Secretary General
17. The PLAN for GIRLS: Microfinance
Young women will use these skills to earn
higher wages to help their families and improve
their communities in order to lift themselves out
of poverty.
18. International Day of the Girl
How can a single „Day‟ change all of this?
The United Nations has declared October 11th
the International Day of the Girl Child.
This day will create an opportunity to advocate
and recognize girls’ rights globally.

20. “All women were
once girls, but not
all girls will live to
become women.”
Powerful words from Saba, a member of the
Because I am a Girl Speaker’s Bureau, who
shared this thought with a room of
diplomats at the United Nations, shortly
before October 11th was declared
International Day of the Girl
