The international children’s rights organization Save the Children recently released their “Girls’ Opportunity Index,” which rates the countries of the world where it is best and worst to be a girl.
The index, part of a broader report, makes its assessments using five common indicators: child marriage, teen pregnancy, maternal deaths, women’s representation in parliament and girls’ graduation rates in school.
We took a closer look at the data and designed the interactive tool below. How does your country rank?

Hi David–
I am unable to get this feature to run at all in the Mac Safari browser. If I recall, you are using an iPad, so that may be the problem. When I put this up, I only checked it out on my PC at work. If you have the Chrome browser installed on your iPad, you might have better luck with that. I have gotten it to work using both Chrome and Firefox on my MacBook. Sorry for the trouble. Dale, NCPR
