Uniting to create a more equal future for girls

All month, we’re bringing together girls, thought leaders, partner organizations, and allies to celebrate girls and address the critical issues that continue to hinder progress towards gender equality.

Girls are the Solution

Girls aren’t waiting for tomorrow, they’re changing their communities today. In honor of their boldness, this year’s theme, Girls Ignite Change, will center on the key questions – what do we want the future to look like for girls and what can we each do today to make it possible?
