Africa’s crises should not have to make headlines around the world before the people affected receive attention and support.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Ebola outbreak is unfolding alongside conflict, displacement, food insecurity and growing protection risks for women and girls. These overlapping crises are a reminder that effective outbreak response requires more than medical interventions alone.

In our latest brief, we explore why Ebola response must protect women and girls, sustain essential services and invest directly in local, women-led organizations already supporting their communities.

The lessons from DRC are clear: preparedness and response efforts must put women’s leadership, protection and the realities of conflict-affected communities at the centre.

When Ruth, Halima, and Nan’akyen saw girls as young as 13 being married off, they knew they wanted to help prevent other girls from facing the same future.

Through our Adolescent Girls Program in Nigeria, they learned about their rights and gained the confidence to speak up. By organizing a march in their community, they raised awareness of early and forced marriage and highlighted every girl’s right to stay in school, make her own choices, and shape her future.

A business of her own. An education. Independence. Peace.

For girls living through conflict, dreaming is an act of resistance.
Their dreams are bigger than the circumstances around them. And with the right support, they can become their reality.

Girls just wanna have (fun)damental rights. 🎀

The right to learn. The right to be safe. The right to choose her future. The right to grow up with opportunities, not limits.

And making those rights a reality takes more than good intentions. It takes resources.

So yeah… maybe she did change everything — for the better! 💌 And it all started with deciding that her circumstances didn’t have to define her future.

A girl’s future should be hers to change. Help girls like Feza decide what comes next. https://www.womenforwomen.org/international-day-girl?form=dayofgirlmatch&src=SMIDG26101A&ms=social_instagram_agp%20idg&utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=agp%20idg&utm_content=social .

A future she thought she’d lost? Not so fast.

Jennifer, 17, had dreamed of becoming a doctor. But after leaving school and being forced into marriage, that dream started to feel impossible. Then she found vocational training.

Learning new skills, earning a small income and saving for her own bakery helped Jennifer see something she had almost forgotten: she still had choices. She could learn. She could build. She could make plans for herself. Now, she’s working toward finishing her training and becoming financially independent — and her dream of a better future is very much alive.

Girls deserve more than a future decided for them. Help a girl build the future she imagines and get a handmade keychain made in Rwanda by our program participants. https://www.womenforwomen.org/international-day-girl?form=dayofgirlmatch&src=SMIDG26101A&ms=social_instagram_agp%20idg&utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=agp%20idg&utm_content=social .
