Sexual and reproductive health and rights are essential to achieving gender equality, sustainable development, and social justice #CPD58 #WorldHealthDay

Every day, girls and women face discrimination, rights abuses and violations, and a growing global anti-rights movement threatens to make this even worse. We stand in solidarity with girls and women around the world whose rights are under threat.

"It is important to be able to encourage other girls who are afraid to use their voices to pursue their goals and rights as girls. You have to fight for what you want, never give up and always demand respect." says Raylânna, who is determined to fight for the rights of all girls and women in society 💪🏽

Excited to start my role as CEO of Plan International today! This organisation has always inspired me with its dedication to championing youth rights and equality for girls in all their diversity. I am eager to listen, learn, and work alongside our incredible people who are determined to drive impactful change. As we embark on this journey together, my commitment is to fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. Our mission to empower youth and fight for girls' equality is more important than ever. I look forward to engaging with our staff, partners, and the communities we serve. Together, we will build a future where every child can thrive, free from discrimination and inequality. Let's make a difference and create lasting change. #PlanInternational #Empowerment #NewBeginnings #YouthRights

"It’s very sad and emotional to see people’s faces with fear. I am at a loss of words after seeing the houses burned to ashes after earthquakes" reported Su Ei, DRR Manager at Plan International Myanmar. On the morning of March 28th, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck #Myanmar, causing widespread destruction across multiple regions We know that emergencies turn children’s lives upside down and that adolescent girls are one of the groups most at risk when disasters strike. We’re urging you to donate and help support the most vulnerable communities affected by this emergency. The time to act is now. https://lnkd.in/eh7pfUHZ

“Invest in peace. Invest in people. Invest NOW.” 🙌🏾 - Sadeen, 21, from Jordan, is a passionate advocate for #GenderEquality. At #CSW69, she delivered a powerful speech to decision-makers urging to them to take action to advance girls’ rights. She doesn’t want to see anymore well-crafted statements, she wants to see outrage, and action. Now 💪🏾

Nearly half of the world’s population elected a new government last year. With estimates saying it will take another five generations to achieve gender equality; we urge all governments to prioritise girls & stand firm on realising & protecting girls’ rights. #UntilWeAreAllEqual

A girl growing up today risks having fewer rights than her mother, and in some cases, even her grandmother. The time for change is now⏰

Lucivanne, 17, and Maria Fernanda, 15, face many difficulties accessing water in their community which greatly hinders the growth of trees and crops. This #ClimateEmergency will continue to make gender inequality worse. This #WorldWaterDay, we want to see girls and women take the lead in climate decision making 💚 💧
