At Plan International Canada, our mission is to strive for a just world that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We stand with children, especially girls, wherever they are oppressed, exploited, left behind or not equally valued. We strive to create a world where children, especially girls, learn, lead, decide and thrive. We tackle the root causes of inequality.
Spotlight
Gaza Emergency Appeal.
Children in Gaza are starving. This isn’t a warning – famine is now the grim reality. Nearly 12,000 children under 5 years old face acute malnutrition. Plan International has reached 100,000 people with aid – but it’s not enough. The scale is vast and time is running out.
The loss of rights for women and girls affects us all
When girls thrive, the world gets better. Their rights shape our future. But those rights are under threat. Protecting them isn’t charity -it’s the path to a stronger, more equal world.

Right now, 103 million school-aged children in 34 conflict-affected countries are out of school. Many of them have fled their homes and become refugees. And as they get older, they’re at greater risk of being left behind.
