How do we work with and for girls to advance equality?

Plan International works to advance children’s rights and equality for girls in 75 countries throughout Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. Our projects are driven by sustainable impact and our evidence-based monitoring and evaluation systems are among the most recognized in the world.

We leverage matched funds from our institutional partners to exponentially multiply the impact of donor dollars, with match ratios ranging from 2x to as high as 14x.

Plan International stands with girls and young women by providing a platform for their voices, delivering projects which enhance their skills and educational opportunities, and supporting them to lead change.

Education: We help girls stay in school by providing food programs, keeping schools safe, training teachers on girls’ rights and through scholarships.
Violence: Combat gender-based violence by changing not just the social conditions in which girls live, but their social positions. When girls are empowered and informed about their rights, they can better advocate for themselves and help end practices like child marriage and FGM in their communities.
Advocacy: Plan International works with community leaders, power holders and governments to advocate and implement legal and social change.
