So They Can’s Post

🌏👧𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱👧🌏 • Around the world, millions of girls are denied fundamental rights to education, healthcare, and safety. More than 129 million girls remain out of school, while 12 million are forced into child marriage each year, depriving them of their futures. These challenges keep girls from realising their full potential, impacting their lives and entire communities. • The good news is change is happening. Many organizations fight to improve girls’ lives, ensuring access to education, healthcare, and protection from harmful practices. Groups like UNICEF, Plan International and Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage lead the charge. • Over the years, the fight for girls’ rights has seen many victories: access to education for girls has increased worldwide, more countries are banning child marriage, and more girls are standing up for their rights. One prominent example is Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who advocates for girls’ education rights. Her story inspires millions across the globe. • At Good People Everywhere, our mission is to connect those who want to make a difference. We believe working together can create positive change for girls and everyone facing challenges. We can support one another by fostering meaningful connections and building a network of kindness and impact. • Together, we are stronger and can be the change the world needs. • #GoodPeopleEverywhere #GoodPeopleApp #Community #Movement #GPE #InternationalDayOfTheGirldChild #GirlPower

Thank you ABN News for speaking with us this International Day of the Girl Child. Girls are our future, and they deserve a choice and say in their own future. That’s why the British High Commission in Pakistan has helped over 2 million girls to access a decent education, unlocking choices for their future. It’s why we’ve supported over 1000 social projects, led by young people tackling issues faced by their communities, including street harrassment, child marriage and the rights of marginalised groups. It’s why we worked directly with communities to develop radio and text message campaigns against child marriage and gender based violence which reached over 34 million people. It’s why we have established over 1000 community forums, bringing people together to tackle entrenched views on issues such as child marriage, and then come up with and enact solutions together as a community. And it’s why we connect community forums to the Government, so they can contribute to policy change. Girls are our future. So let’s listen to them today.

Today as we celebrate international women's day, KEF acknowledges the impact education has on a girl's life.  In many communities, being in school delays child marriage, prevents FGM and improves their quality of life. We celebrate everyone who makes it possible for girls to attain education across the world. It allows them to dream big and accelerate progress. #impact #internationalwomensday2024 #internationalwomensday

In Sierra Leone, #FGM affects an estimated 83% of girls and women. This week, the country made history by banning #childmarriage. Addressing FGM is just as crucial to ending these practices deeply rooted in #patriarchy, power, and exclusion. Sierra Leone has thought me that girls' solidarity, friendship, and belonging can exist in spaces without violence and fear. These spaces thrive when collectively built, understood, valued, and protected. #Education is key in this fight, whether in schools, community halls, in meeting places in the shade of trees, by rivers and the ocean, or on bustling streets. Sierra Leone has taught me hope and the importance of nurturing these spaces to let them grow and shine. It is up to us all to #EndFGM #EndChildMarriage and fight to achieve #Education for women and girls.

📌What every parent should know about the girl child... Dear Impacts Family💕💚 Every girl child is special and unique in her own way, therefore they deserve attention and support as well.💖 Below are key aspects about the girl child that every parent should know: 1. Equality and Respect: Treating girls with the same respect and opportunities as boys is crucial for their self-esteem and development.

🌍💪 International Day of the Girl Child 🌍💪 Today, we celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child, a crucial observance day declared by the United Nations to shine a light on the unique challenges faced by girls around the world. 🌸 Girls everywhere confront obstacles that often go unnoticed or ignored. As of 2014, over 62 million girls had no access to education. 💔 Collectively, girls aged 5-14 spend 160 million more hours on household chores than boys. Globally, 1 in 4 girls are married before age 18, often stripping them of their childhood and future. Why does this matter? When we address these issues, we don’t just change the lives of girls — we transform entire communities. Educating girls leads to a reduction in child marriage, lower disease rates, and a stronger economy. Empowering girls means empowering a brighter, more equitable future for all. Let's advocate for every girl's right to education, protection, and opportunity. Together, we can help create a world where every girl can thrive. 🌱 How do you support girls' rights in your community? #DayOfTheGirl #GirlsRights #EndChildMarriage #GirlsEducation #EmpowerGirls #GenderEquality #UNWomen #FutureLeaders

Today is International Day of the Girl - a day designated to amplifying girls’ voices and advocating for the rights of girls everywhere. This year's theme is Girls’ Vision for the Future. What can we do to protect and realize the kind of world girls want for themselves? We can start by recognizing conflict and fragility as a critical risk for girls, and act now to protect girls from child marriage and other abuses of their rights. Conflict deepens and amplifies gender inequality as it reinforces gender stereotypes and increases harmful practices, like child marriage. Globally, one girl is married every three minutes, but in extremely fragile countries that number rises to 𝟭 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝟯𝟬 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗦. New data by Save the Children shows that 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗪𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗮𝘀 𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 to girls in more stable countries. A country can become fragile when it's affected by crises like wars and climate disasters. Systems that are supposed to protect people like law enforcement and healthcare are weakened, leaving girls more vulnerable to poverty, violence, and child marriage. So, what are we calling for? 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗨𝗡 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗰𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀’ 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀. In doing so they must develop clear policy guidance to address child marriage and support girls’ rights in fragile settings, and must invest more in research and piloting new approaches. • All countries should act now to decrease risk factors for fragility and abuses of girls’ rights like child marriage. • Governments, donors, the UN, humanitarian agencies and NGOs must recognize fragility as a critical risk factor for girls and build new, fully funded coalitions to tackle it. • Efforts to address risk factors for fragility and its consequences must ultimately enable governments to take full responsibility for ensuring the rights of all people within their country, especially the girls most at risk.

Looking back at last week's #InternationalDayoftheGirl 👧💡 what can we do to support girls? - Start by recognizing that conflict and fragility put girls at risk—child marriage happens every 30 seconds in fragile countries 💔. - Save the Children’s new data shows girls in fragile areas are twice as vulnerable to child marriage. It’s time for action! 📢 - Governments, UN, NGOs, local orgs, community groups, religious leaders: Let’s work together to protect girls’ rights and create a better future.🌱 Read more in the Global Girlhood Report 2024: Fragile Futures ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eT4FCdHP

Invest in Girls' Rights! 👧 Did you know nearly 1 in 5 girls aren't completing lower-secondary school, and 4 in 10 aren't completing upper-secondary school?

"Investing in girls' secondary education aligns with the mission and objectives of the Jamila Foundation by significantly increasing lifetime earnings and reducing child marriage and gender-based violence rates. These benefits ripple through entire communities, fostering stability and growth, and creating a brighter future for all. #GirlsEducation #Empowerment #JamilaFoundation" This video was created by #Zedphotobox
