Many girls in Minnesota are confronted with challenges due to poverty, racism, sexism, language and cultural barriers, and physical and sexual abuse, according to a report from the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota.

The foundation will kick off a statewide Road to Equality Tour on May 5 to share findings of the report.
