Girls Get Equal
Girls Get Equal is the global campaign demanding power, freedom and representation for girls and young women. It’s about ensuring every girl and young woman has power over her own life and can shape the world around her. A world free from discrimination, harassment and violence. Imagine a world where you see and hear girls equally in the corridors of power, at decision-making tables, in boardrooms, in the media. Imagine a world that values girls, and where girls value themselves. Girls Get Equal is campaigning in support of girls’ power, voice, participation and leadership in over 60 countries. The girls’ rights movement is changing our world but girls can’t achieve equality alone, they need allies. They need you.Get Involved
