DO YOU SEE WHAT’S MISSING?
Did you find what was missing from the picture? What if we told you that there wasn’t anything missing at all?
Sometimes when we look at an image, our own beliefs and understanding fill in details that aren’t there, making us think we see something we’re not.
Girls around the world have shown us repeatedly that they can be powerful drivers of change in their own families and communities. Find out how you can support young women’s empowerment all around the world by signing up now.
Every year, 12% of girls are married before their 18th birthdays. And 13% of girls globally will give birth before they turn 18.
This isn’t necessarily because girls aren’t aware of their rights but because – in many countries – they are denied opportunities to exercise them.
Through projects like FOUNDATIONS, Save the Children is working in partnership – in countries such as Mali, Niger and Sierra Leone – to provide access to services, and support girls and young women to transform their lives, their family’s lives and their communities.
FOUNDATIONS is conducted in partnership with Sick Kids, Equipop, International Rescue Committee and ODI, and generously supported by Global Affairs Canada, The Slaight Family Foundation, MCIC and The Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal.
