Abstract
Over the last ten years, the plight of the third world girl has increasingly captured popular imagination. From the launch of Nike Foundation’s Girl Effect campaign, to the United Nations’ declaration of October 11th as the “International Day of the Girl Child,” to the 2012 shooting of Pakistani girls’ education activist Malala Yousafzai, to the recent #BringBackOurGirls marches and social media initiatives calling for the rescue of nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped in Northeastern Nigeria, girls’ education and specifically, the directive to “invest in girls” remains prominent in mainstream western media.
