Plan International Australia

Plan International Australia Until we are all equal. Girls, globally, bear the greatest burden of this injustice - denied education, subjected to violence, and robbed of their freedoms.

Hunger, economic instability, climate change and conflict are devastating the lives of millions, pushing them further into disadvantage and inequality. When offered the opportunity to learn, make decisions, thrive, and lead the change, we see girls rise to help create a better world for themselves, their families and the communities around them. This is why we are there, providing emergency response and long-term community development programs in 70 countries around the world. Working alongside local communities, we provide the support and assistance needed to survive emergencies and forge a way forward; to see girls valued and empowered, and future generations inherit a brighter, more equitable future. Together, we have the power to move humanity towards a better tomorrow for girls and communities globally. Will you join us?

Every year, 12 million girls are forced into marriage before they’re ready – that’s one girl every 3 seconds.

Extreme weather driven by climate change is multiplying the risk to girls. Families, struggling to cope, are pulling girls out of school, robbing them of the protection it provides.

But with support and opportunity, girls are rising, speaking out, staying in school, and leading change in their communities.

This International Day of the Girl, stand with girls claiming their rights and shaping their futures. Together, we can break down the barriers holding them back and build a future where every girl has the freedom to choose her own path.

Join us for International Day of the Girl. Let’s build a future free from child marriage: https://planau.me/Day-of-the-girl-2026

Plan International Australia's Deputy CEO, Hayley Cull, was interviewed by ABC Australia News Breakfast this morning following her recent visit to Nepal. Take a listen below!

More than a month since flash floods struck , thousands of girls and children are still facing the consequences of the disaster, with many displaced from their homes, unable to return to school, and struggling to access essential services.

Our newest, State of the World's Girls report, Change her Forecast, found that climate disasters, like floods, droughts, cyclones, and extreme heat are destroying the health and education services girls depend on at the precise moment they need them most.

Climate shocks are pulling girls out of school and when their education is disrupted, girls lose the single most protective factor in their lives. This makes girls more vulnerable to exploitation, violence, and child marriage.

Today, we release Change her Forecast, our 2026 State of the World's Girls report.

The report is focused on the impacts of climate change on girl's sexual and reproductive health and rights. Our research has found that climate disasters, like floods, droughts, cyclones, and extreme heat are destroying the health and education services girls depend on at the precise moment they need them most.

This report tells us that climate shocks are pulling girls out of school. When their education is disrupted, girls lose the single most protective factor in their lives which makes them significantly more vulnerable to exploitation, violence, and child marriage.

This International Day of the Girl, we’re putting girls at the centre of climate action. You can help ensure girls have control over their lives and futures: https://planau.me/Day-of-the-girl-2026

Every year, 12 million girls are forced into marriage before they’re ready – that’s one girl every 3 seconds.

Climate change is accelerating this crisis. As floods, droughts, cyclones, and heatwaves devastate communities, girls are being pulled from school, robbing them of the protection it provides and putting them at a greater risk of being forced into marriage.

This has lasting consequences for their rights, opportunities, and futures.

Climate change meant Hellen had to walk long distances in search of water. An ongoing drought meant her families crops were damaged. This meant missing school because her parents couldn't afford the fees. Without money, Hellen and her family experienced hunger and severe malnutrition.

"We suffered from hunger and, as a family, we suffered from kwashiorkor," Hellen told us. Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition caused by a lack of protein in one's diet.

This is a chain reaction that negatively and disproportionately affects a girls' life and her potential. Hellen told us how, "some of the girls in my community are married off to older men as a way for their families to generate income."

Following climate shocks, it is often the girls who have to walk long distances for water, miss out on school, go hungry and face pressure to marry before they're ready. These impacts are all interconnected.

Building a climate resilient future is a lot more than protecting crops and people's livelihood. It's investing in girls' education, health, and safety, and ensuring families can withstand climate and economic shocks.

It has been a little over a month since flash floods struck Nepal. Plan International, alongside its partners, have reached 12,493 people, including 3,838 children and girls, who make up 33% of those reached, across affected communities in northern Nepal.

There are still thousands of children and girls facing the consequences of the disaster, with many displaced from their homes, unable to return to school, and struggling to access essential services.

Plan International is continuing our work with partners to repair damaged water systems and to support communities with generators, safe drinking water, and hygiene supplies. The team have established child-friendly spaces which offer psychosocial support to help children cope with the impact of the disaster.

In times of disaster, the safety, dignity, privacy, and wellbeing of girls and children, remain central to every part of our response💙
