Tick-tock, let’s smash that clock!

As part of a global organization dedicated to advancing children’s rights in over 80 countries, we believe girls deserve better. We know what better looks like. And we’ve seen the ripple effect of positive change that occurs every time a girl steps into her potential.

Yet, at this rate, it’ll take FIVE more generations for the gender gap in health, education and political and economic participation to close.

We can’t wait that long.

Today, we’re asking everyone who knows us (and everyone who doesn’t!) to help make change happen faster by watching, liking and sharing this short, powerful video.

Together, we will #BeatTheClock.
