Young women's freedoms
Girls' rights are the human rights of female children—protections and entitlements specific to their needs and vulnerabilities.
The term appears in advocacy contexts addressing education access, protection from child marriage, freedom from gender-based violence, and bodily autonomy: The organization campaigns for girls' rights in regions where early marriage remains common.
Often overlaps with women's rights and children's rights but emphasizes challenges unique to young females.
