Stand with every brave girl to end violence

Girls aren’t weak. They’re braver than you know. Female Genital Mutilation. Teenage pregnancy. Online bullying. They face it all. But as brave as they are, they still need our support.

So when a girl says no to being cut, we’ll be there. When a teenage mother demands she goes back to school to improve her future, we’ll make sure she’s heard. When a group of girls call for an education that teaches them about their rights and how to stay safe online, we’ll help them push governments to do better.

We won’t give up until the violence stops. And it will. By joining our campaign, you’ll be supporting our work and showing girls that we believe in them. We’ll send you campaign actions and ways you can help to end discrimination and change laws that improve girls’ rights all around the world. Stand with brave girls.

Brave girls ending violence

Speaking out against FGM

We have decided to save ourselves from this cruel tradition [FGM] and help other girls too. Now there are so many of us, I am no longer embarrassed. I dare to speak out about the perils of FGM even at the market or church.

Alem, 13, Ethiopia

Our work helps young people take a leading role in ending FGM as it's their generation that can break the cycle. Meet the girls in Ethiopia who are fighting to end FGM with the Uncut Girls’ Club.

Educating girls on teenage pregnancy

Emily is a brave girl standing up for girls' rights

Standing against online abuse

It’s way too easy for people to screenshot on Snapchat and send things around, and just bully people online, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. It’s really easy to be hurt.

Emily, 15, UK

We’re now working with young people in the UK to help girls realise their rights. Despite being one of the most developed countries on earth, too many girls are telling us they don’t feel safe at school, on our streets and online. Discover the challenges girls are facing growing up in the UK.
