Promoting children’s rights and equality for girls in 15 countries across the region
We work with children and girls in 15 countries to help create a world where we are all equal. To do that we tackle the root causes of the challenges and inequalities that children and young girls face.
The Middle East and Eastern and Southern Africa are facing a myriad of challenges including:
These factors have limited access to education, basic services, jobs and have caused an increase in abuses of girls’ rights.
We provide support across the region and coordinate multi-country emergency responses. We influence regional bodies and establish regional partnerships to increase our impact.
Two of our priorities in the region are ending child marriage and supporting girls in displaced settings. We are leading work in these areas across the region through programmes and influencing to create positive changes in girls’ lives.
We won’t stop until we are all equal.
Please help us provide vital aid to children and families affected by the food crisis in East Africa.
