In developing countries around the world millions of girls face daily discrimination. They cannot go to school. They are economically and sexually exploited. They are abandoned at birth. Why? Because they are girls.

We know that every girl deserves equal education, legal rights and opportunities. Will you help by signing our petition urging President Obama to support three simple things that will help girls in developing nations?

Dear President Obama,

Around the world, millions of girls face life-threatening disadvantages - including malnutrition, lack of education, violence, and sexual abuse - all because they were born girls. This cycle of discrimination against girls must end now.

I urge you to support three simple actions that would improve the lives of millions of girls in developing countries: Require birth registration, which will protect girls from early marriage, child labor, and enable them to vote and get jobs; Ensure that girls benefit as much as boys from aid money given to education in developing countries; and Help create a procedure that would enable girls and boys to voice complaints against their governments. You can help give girls the equal legal and education rights they deserve. Supporting and educating girls is not just the right thing to do: investing in girls promotes economic growth and reduces child mortality and malnutrition.

Please take immediate action to end discrimination against girls by declaring your support.
