What is Girl Up?
Girl Up is a youth-centered leadership initiative focusing on equity for girls and women in spaces where they are unheard or underrepresented. We believe when girls and women are in positions of influence, they work to create a more just and equitable space for everyone. Girl Up aims to support its network of youth leaders around the world through financial awards, honorariums, and scholarships because we know that when you educate a girl, you educate a nation.
