dc.description.abstractWhile there are no observable gender differences in severe stunting at the national level, disaggregating the data reveals that girls are at higher risk than boys in some states. Also, rural girls with two or more older sisters have significantly higher risk of severe stunting than other children, often due to nutritional disadvantage. It is necessary to disaggregate the data beyond the national, urban and rural levels to observe gender differentials and to recognize that not all girls face equal discrimination. Birth order and sex composition of other siblings matter.en
