In response to that research, which shows girls scoring generally lower on standardized tests—there is a 50-point gap on the math S.A.T.—and avoiding advanced math and science classes, three California schools are segregating girls in some classes ...

Adolescent girls are disproportionately affected by HIV, with gender-related social, cultural, and economic factors heightening their vulnerability. Traditional HIV prevention programs often overlook the unique needs of young girls, especially in resource-limited settings. Gender-sensitive mentorship offers a promising approach to addressing these needs by empowering girls through peer support, education, and community engagement.
