Sadly, many girls and adolescents still fight daily for their fundamental rights and for equality. They are disproportionately affected by global crises, including climate change, conflict, and inequality. Discrimination and negative gender stereotypes also undermine their potential, leaving them nearly twice as likely as boys to miss out on education. Child marriage remains widespread, with about one in five young women married before age 18 (UNICEF, 2024).![]()

Being a girl should never limit them from doing what they want or becoming who they aspire to be. We want a society where girls are empowered to reach their full potential. This is the only way to achieve true justice. ⚖️
