Despite the incredible growth in girls’ and women’s sports since the passage of Title IX in 1972, unfair practices continue at both the high school and college levels. Recent court cases show that high school girls continue to be shortchanged in facilities, expenditures, and overall participation opportunities. However, because the federal government does not collect data on high school athletics, advocates are often limited in their fight for Title IX enforcement. Two bipartisan bills introduced in Congress (HR 901 and S 518) would help hold schools accountable. These bills require that high schools disclose basic information to the public such as the number of male and female athletes and the expenditures made for each sport team. Better data can lead to better enforcement of Title IX and the continued expansion of athletic opportunities for girls.

In 2004 there were more than one billion girls in the world. At birth girls are a slight minority although this changes with age. Since the 1700s the human sex ratio has been observed as about 1,050 boys for every 1,000 girls born and sex selection on the part of parents further lessens the number of female births. Although the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has asserted "primary education shall be compulsory and available free to all" girls are slightly less likely to be enrolled as students in primary and secondary schools (70%:74% and 59%:65%). Worldwide efforts have been made to end this disparity (such as through the Millennium Development Goals) and the gap has closed since 1990.[6]

One explanation for the fact that girls at single-sex schools are more likely to explore non-traditional subjects, then, might be that the single-sex classroom encourages girls to be daring, to try things that they might otherwise not try. Another explanation is that girls in the girls-only setting have more freedom to explore non-traditional subjects. Imagine that you're an 8th-grade girl, trying to decide what courses to sign up for in 9th grade. You're choosing between an advanced Spanish class and a computer programming class. You visit both classes. The Spanish class is very familiar: basically the same thing you've been doing for that past several years.

UNICEF has launched the ‘25 by 2005 Girls’ Education Campaign’ to accelerate its ongoing efforts towards the world’s commitment of educating every child. The campaign focuses on getting girls into school in 25 countries where an extra effort is needed to meet the 2005 Millennium Development Goal of gender parity in education. ‘25 by 2005’ targets partners such as governments and donors who make some of the key policy and resource decisions affecting the education of girls.
