She Matters. You Can Rewrite Her Story.

She shouldn’t live in fear or be silenced just because she’s a girl. She shouldn’t be in a wedding dress, waiting to walk down the aisle to a stranger, or at home, heavily pregnant, fearful of what her future holds.

She should be in a school uniform, learning, playing, and working towards her dream of becoming a teacher, doctor, or anything she wants to be. She deserves an education and the chance to shape her own future.

She should only become a mother if she wants to and when the time is right for her. She matters, and you can tell her that.

These are realities no girls should face

Worldwide, 129 million girls are out of school.

Every year, at least 12 million girls are married before they turn 18.

Female Genital Mutilation is often done to girls between birth and age 15.
