Freedom 2014: Does being a girl restrict your freedom?

Most countries legislate against gender discrimination, yet around the world young women still lack the same opportunities to men.

As part of the Freedom season, BBC News went to meet four teenage girls in the UK, Lesotho, Iceland and Jordan.

They spoke about whether they thought being a girl restricted their freedom.
