Did you know that 65 million girls worldwide are currently missing out on school?
Girls are often placed at a lower priority than boys, leading to lower education rates, malnutrition, and less health care options.
Education is key to ending child marriage, pregnancy and sexual-health-related illnesses and deaths.
Plan International’s Because I Am A Girl campaign is about creating a global social movement, promoting positive, sustainable change for girls: Fighting gender discrimination, gender-based violence, child marriage, and poor sexual health and education.
Millions of girls are denied their rights by the daily realities of poverty. Many girls are denied their right to an education, which we here at Creative Little Soul believe everyone should have access to. There a number of ways you can get involved, and add your voice to support breaking the cycle of poverty by empowering girls to claim their rights.
Some pretty awesome chicks have gotten together to do just that, with a day of
