Change the Tide
Around the world, girls and women face gaps in resources that prevent them from participating effectively. If polling stations are located in remote or unsafe areas, women voters may be reluctant to use them. By ensuring that girls and women are actively included and their voices are not only heard but represented is essential in creating change. More importantly, when girls and women build coalitions and turn out the vote, we create change.
Our Club leaders are a powerful force for social change. Advance the global movement for gender equality by organizing your Girl Up Club and community.
