OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This event is part of the Childhood and Youth Studies Network (CYS) events.
The first two decades of the twenty-first century saw the rise of girl power discourses in international development, which argue that when girls in the Global South are given an investment to stay in school, they will go on to lift entire communities out of poverty. NGOs, governments, and international institutions began to champion girls as the ‘untapped resource’ the world had been waiting for.
