Youth empowerment

Girls face barriers every day — but they’re not waiting for change, they’re leading it.

Across the world, girls are organising, speaking out and shaping their communities. Yet they continue to face injustice simply because they are young and female.

We amplify their movement — helping it grow from grassroots to global. We support girls to lead and we engage boys and young men to become allies in building a more equal world
