On the UN's DayOfTheGirl, report reveals we've got a long way to go, baby

Today a report was released that said only 8 per cent of Australian girls think they are treated equally to men.

Today is the United Nation's International Day Of The Girl, and organisations worldwide are shining a light on inspiring stories for girls and women.
