Your support has the power to ensure ALL girls get an equal opportunity.

Every day, millions of girls around the world are denied their basic human rights – simply because they are girls – and that has to change.  

Inequality knows no borders, and it isn’t restricted to any one community, culture or continent. That’s why we’re working hard to fight gender inequality around the world. 

We’ve seen girls across the globe change their futures, and the futures of their communities, when they have the support and resources they need. But girls in some of the poorest countries on earth face overwhelming odds from the day they are born. And every day, girls are still being discriminated against just for being girls.  

That’s why we need you to join us and stand with brave girls everywhere in the fight for equal rights. With your support, vulnerable girls all around the world have the opportunity to take their rightful place as equals.
