There are girls all around the globe addressing tough issues that no young person should have to deal with--but must, 

by the luck of where and when they were born. Things like child marriage, sex trafficking, limited access to education, and poverty. Over 100 of these girls who have decided to do something about the problems in their community, are featured in a new book called "Wonder Girls Changing Our World." It was written by photojournalist Paola Gianturco and her 11 year old granddaughter, Alex Sangster who interviewed and photographed girl activists from fifteen girl-led nonprofit groups across the world...girls who have managed to take their outrage and turn it into action.
