Let me say that too often adolescent girls face intersecting disadvantages because of their age, gender, ethnic background, sexual identity, religion affiliation, income, disability among other compounded factors. We have seen pictures, evoked images of girls in different situations that live with disadvantage, even without crisis. The perception and reality of vulnerability arising out of these multiple intersectionalities really creates that context of discrimination and differentiated impact of crisis.
During conflict or humanitarian situations, natural disasters or climate change, these factors exacerbate and disproportionately and differentially affect young women and girls due to neglect of their human rights and the intersecting forms gender-inequality and discrimination that they endure. So this is how we shine the light on this particular situation of girls in emergencies. As was mentioned, it is often forgotten that women and girls are not only helpless victims, they are sources of power, power to cope, power to prevent, power to reduce risk, power for resilience and transformation and to build back better after crisis. That is the power that we want to invoke and tap into.
We must be outraged about the disadvantages that girls still experience. But here has been some progress. Humanitarian actors and governments are much more aware today about addressing crises and resilience building with a gender lens and with a girls lens. But, we still have miles to go.

Every 10 minutes, somewhere in the world, an adolescent girl dies because of violence. Up to one-third of adolescent girls report their first sexual experience as being forced and they are victims of sexual violence. Currently at least 133 million girls and women have experienced female genital mutilation.
The Port Huron Statement was to the Students for a Democratic Society what the Sharon Statement was to the Young Americans for Freedom.
<h3>What was the Young Americans for Freedom?</h3>
This refers to the social group which had the aim of influencing public policy and their values are consistent with the Sharon Statement.
Hence, we can note that just as the Port Huron Statement was to the Students for a Democratic Society what the Sharon Statement was to the Young Americans for Freedom because it talked about political freedom goes hand in hand with economic freedom.

The land of Zhou was a vassal state of the Shang Dynasty. A powerful leader of the Zhou named Wen Wang began to plan to overthrow the Shang Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty was divided up into the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou periods. It extended its power over the eastern plain by granting authority to members of the royal family and in some cases to favored adherents, that established walled forts supported by garrison troops among the original habitants of the east.
