Girls encounter major obstacles and discrimination in their lives, and they experience them early. Girls are more likely to experience domestic violence, less likely to play sport and 83% don't feel like they've been given the same opportunities as boys (2016 Everyday Sexism Report). Global development efforts have largely failed to reach the 250 million adolescent girls worldwide, especially the girls living in remote, hard-to-reach places.

That's where we step in.

Investing in girls is key to reducing poverty. It is key to reducing teenage pregnancy. It is key to driving social and economic change. We are working towards a world where all girls can go to school, see a doctor, and stay away from violence. We're working towards equality. There isn't a simple answer to these problems, but we think starting with how girls see themselves and how they fit into their communities is a great place to start.
