本文通过对一系列促进全球女孩效应运动的文本的分析，探讨了当前关于新自由主义发展的话语中女孩的表现。这些陈述是在关于性别主流化和政策发展的理论辩论的背景下进行的，这些政策发展将女孩和妇女的“赋权”构建为“聪明的经济学”。本文借鉴后殖民和跨国女权主义的分析，批评市场主导的发展方式及其在新殖民主义和不平衡发展动态中的复杂性，以背景分析女孩效应运动。有人认为，女孩效应运动利用了殖民时期对女孩的性别和文化限制的刻板印象，但通过新自由主义发展的论述重新塑造了这些刻板印象，将女孩构建为良好的投资潜力。通过这样做，它再现了一种占主导地位的叙事，强调了贫困的文化原因，但掩盖了剥削和特权的结构性关系。
This paper explores representations of girls in current discourses of neoliberal development through an analysis of a range of texts that promote the global Girl Effect movement. These representations are situated in the context of theoretical debates about gender mainstreaming and policy developments that construct girls and women's ‘empowerment’ as ‘smart economics’. The paper draws on postcolonial and transnational feminist analyses that critique market-led approaches to development and their complicities in the dynamics of neo-colonialism and uneven development, to contextualise the Girl Effect movement. It is argued that the Girl Effect movement draws on colonial stereotypes of girls as sexually and culturally constrained, but reworks these through the discourses of neoliberal development to construct girls as good investment potential. In doing so, it reproduces a dominant narrative that highlights the cultural causes of poverty but obscures structural relations of exploitation and privilege.
