Abstract	One of the most important vehicles for promoting the concerns of the "girl child" and the elimination of gender bias is through education. Programs in population education are being funded all over the world and are a suitable and effective medium for integrating messages on the girl child. This two-volume publication deals with population education and gender issues. The first volume focuses on the status of the girl child in terms of education, nutrition and health care, marriage and family life, harmful cultural practices, values and traditions, child labor, prostitution, sexual abuse, and HIV/AIDS. It also suggests strategies to promote female education, examining the barriers to girls' education, and the benefits of educating girls. The objectives of the two volumes are to: (1) increase awareness of how population educators can contribute to the elimination of stereotyping and discrimination of the girl child and promote appreciation of the value of the girl child; (2) develop skills or ways and means of integrating messages on girl child issues into population education programs, both in school and out of school; (3) obtain a quick source of exemplary strategies and curriculum/training materials for introducing messages about the girl child through the vehicle of population education; and (4) provide an overall view of the literature that exists on the subject of girl child.
