State of the Georgia Girl Report

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Girls must learn to develop healthy bodies and live in healthy environments in order to thrive. Proper development of a girl’s physical body requires access to nutritional foods, outlets for physical fitness, health education, and more. Girls also need safe, nurturing environments that support their growth, including access to safe housing, quality healthcare, and protective communities of peers and adults who are capable of supporting her overall development.
