Girls can identify what needs to change — and lead the work to change it 💫

Last year, members of our Girl Advocacy Committee turned their ideas into action across their schools and communities, taking on issues like girls’ education, digital wellbeing, menstrual health, safety, and child marriage.

Across countries and communities, their projects tackle different issues — but they all show the same thing: when girls have the support, resources, and opportunity to lead, they can create real change.

This International Day of the Girl, we’re asking our community to help make more of that possible.
✍️ Take the Girls Can Pledge

Girls can lead. Girls can build. Girls can innovate. Girls can change the world 🌟

We see it every day in girls who speak up, create solutions, support their communities, and imagine a different future for themselves and others.

But too many girls are still denied the opportunities, resources, and freedom to fully realize that potential.

As we look ahead to International Day of the Girl on October 11, we’re inviting our community to do more than believe in what girls can do — we’re asking you to take action and help make it possible 💪

✍️ Take the Girls Can Pledge to commit to listening to girls, championing their voices, and challenging the barriers that hold them back.

And help us share the message by sharing this campaign with your community. Because GIRLS CAN! Let’s make sure they get the chance.

Confidence isn’t something you have to wait for ✨

In the latest edition of our Ally Series, Ugandan lawyer and activist Yvonne Mpambara () reflects on finding her voice, stepping into leadership, and what young women have taught her about boldness.

Her advice to girls who want to create change is simple: you don’t have to feel completely ready before you begin. Sometimes, confidence comes from taking that first step 💪

In Pakistan, millions of girls are still denied the opportunity to learn. But behind those numbers are girls with dreams, determination, and voices ready to create change.

Sana and Aliza are two of them.

Through GLOW Club, they’ve found confidence in their voices, continued pursuing their education, and begun encouraging other girls in their communities to keep going, too.

Hear from Sana and Aliza in their own words at the link in our bio đź’›
