TOGETHER FOR GIRLS

WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE EVERY CHILD, ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG PERSON IS SAFE, PROTECTED AND THRIVING. EVERY PERSON, INCLUDING EVERY CHILD AND ADOLESCENT, HAS THE RIGHT TO LIVE FREE FROM VIOLENCE AND EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN MAKING THIS A REALITY. TO ACHIEVE GENDER EQUALITY AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN AND GIRLS, WE MUST FOCUS ON ENDING VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. WE BRING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE NEEDS OF ADOLESCENT GIRLS - WHO OFTEN FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS OF EFFORTS TO ADDRESS CHILDREN AND WOMEN - AND A STRONG FOCUS ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE, IN ALL ITS FORMS.
