The Girls’ Pact for the Future
Youth reimagining a gender-equal future
The UN Summit of the Future will deliver a Pact for the Future, concrete commitments to meet the challenges ahead. Young people must be included in these plans – it is after all their future.
To ensure their voices are heard, adolescent girls and young people aged 15-24 from around the world developed the Girls’ Pact for the Future sharing their concerns with the current state of the world, their vision of a positive future with gender equality at its heart, and clear and actionable recommendations for policy makers to achieve gender equality.
The Girls’ Pact for the Future was developed as part of the research “Our Voices for our Tomorrow” which provides more details on the methodology and on young people’s views of the future.

“The Girls Pact is such an inspiring example of youth leadership, and we just need more examples of this in every part of the system of the UN.”
Harshani Dharmadasa, Senior Director, UN Foundation
“The Girls’ Pact is more than a set of demands; it’s a movement. It harnesses the power of girls to lead and innovate, leveraging their voices as powerful catalysts for global change. By supporting this pact, PMNCH is helping lay the foundation for a generation of women and girl leaders who will reshape our world for the better.”
Rt. Hon. Helen Clark, Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) Board Chair
I applaud the dedication, bravery, and vision of the young people who created this pact and are committed to making their vision a reality.
Joy Zawadi, Co-Chair Adolescent Girls Investment Plan (AGIP) & Executive Director, Akili Dada
Girls and young women encounter numerous obstacles every day, and it is our duty to address these issues. We recognise the importance of using our influence to advocate for the Girls’ Pact and appreciate the focus on education as a key tool for achieving gender equality.
“We know that girls and youth overall are powerful agents of change and we’re committed to amplifying your ideas and your voices. “
Amrita Paul, Director, Global Affairs Canada
