Girls of the World: Our Future, Our Hope
Let’s create an equal world where girls can thrive and access all opportunities.
Girls around the world have dreams and aspirations.
They want to learn, grow, and make a difference.
Girls are powerful and resilient. They can overcome any challenge if they have the support they need. Adolescent girls across India are speaking up for their rights, which is a testament to their determination, courage, and unwavering commitment to making a difference.
Take a look at the journey of two best friends from the Malkangiri district in Odisha who find a safe space in each other’s company. They help each other cope with life’s challenges by riding the wave together. Whether it's a mental health crisis or an acute financial challenge that put Ranjuta out of school, they’re there for each other every step of the way.
Girls have the potential to achieve anything they set their minds to. Let's work together to create a world where all girls aspire to dream big.
Girls across rural districts in India are taking the lead in household and financial responsibilities.
Girls’ education is a key factor in empowering them to become agents of change. Historically, girls have been denied equal opportunities for access to education.
UNICEF, together with its key stakeholders, tirelessly works towards bridging the gender gap. While there has been a significant improvement, there is still a long way to go. Young girls understand that knowledge is the key to empowerment and are determined to unlock the doors of learning for themselves and their peers.
Whether it's by organizing study groups, raising awareness, or demanding better facilities, they are creating opportunities for countless girls to thrive academically.
We are committed to supporting them in their journey towards empowerment and equality.
