Building an equal world for girls

Building an equal world for girls

Plan International is a global children’s charity striving for a fairer world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.    

We bring people together to protect children’s rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes.   

We won’t stop until we are all equal.

International Day of the Girl 2024

All girls deserve the chance to learn. But globally 40% of girls don’t finish school.

Poverty forces girls’ hands, often into marriage. War puts school out of girls’ reach. Discrimination holds girls back. But against all odds, girls are determined to learn.

Together we can match girls’ determination and create change. So that every girl can take a seat in the classroom – and stay there.

This International Day of the Girl, let's clear the way for girls to learn, so that every girl can finish school. Once and for all.
