#Sold girl town saves free
When girls are educated, empowered, healthy and free from violence and discrimination, their communities are more prosperous and stable. Her world is one in which her aspirations know no limits and she is free to fulfil her potential, to have equal opportunities, to decide her own future and empower those around her.
The world we want is a world in which no girl faces gender-based discrimination, suffers violence or marries before her 18 th birthday, and every last girl fully enjoys her right to be protected from harm, to learn, survive and thrive.
Some girls face even greater challenges due to multiple and intersecting forms of deprivation and marginalization based on poverty and characteristics such as ethnicity, displacement and location. These norms affect both boys and girls but have a disproportionate impact on girls, preventing them from claiming their rights, exposing them to harmful practices, driving rights abuses in their homes, relationships and communities, and through embedded structural inequalities that shape their lives from childhood through adulthood. This is a world built on transformative change – to the dismantling of patriarchal, discriminatory gender norms and the inequalities they sustain. Our vision is for a world where all girls and boys are equally heard and valued, where they have equitable access and time to devote to education, to work, to rest and to play. Worldwide, patriarchal gender norms and gender discrimination drive violence against women and girls. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable future.
