“I'm ready to…”

Three powerful words. So many possibilities. 💜

This International Day of the Girl, we asked Girl Up leaders around the world to tell us what they're ready to do next.

Their answers remind us that even as the rights and opportunities of girls and women face growing threats, young people aren't backing down. They're ready to challenge barriers, raise their voices, and lead change!

Today, we celebrate their courage, their determination, and the futures they're working to build - for themselves and each other.

Now it's your turn: What are YOU ready to do in the name of change?

Happy International Day of the Girl! 🌍💜

Sexual assault and gender-based violence are not isolated to one campus, one country, or one crisis. ⁠
⁠
At Cornell and on campuses around the world, survivors are speaking out about sexual assault and the systems that failed them. ⁠
⁠
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan, girls and women face sexual violence on a devastating scale. Online, men across countries have traded advice about drugging and assaulting their partners. ⁠
⁠
Different circumstances. The same global reality: too many girls are growing up in a world where their safety, bodily autonomy, and freedom are treated as negotiable. ⁠
⁠
At Girl Up, we believe girlhood is sacred — and that girls deserve more than survival. They deserve the power, support, and opportunities to challenge the systems that put them at risk and shape a safer, more equal world. ⁠
⁠
That’s the future more than 400,000 Girl Up leaders around the world are already fighting for. ⁠
⁠
Content note: This post discusses sexual violence.
