Save the Children puts gender equality at the heart of everything we do.
As the world’s leading expert on childhood, we start right from birth, giving children a healthy start. Since 2000, we’ve helped achieve a 25% decline in child marriage worldwide – and empowered 11 million girls to stay in school. (Educated girls are more likely to transition to a career and decide for themselves when they’re ready for marriage and motherhood.) And we work with boys, men and parents too, to fight gender bias in families.
Take a step now to help bridge the gap for girls so all children are equal from the start!
Watch for more news from our gender equality team in celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8. Together we can bridge the gap between the challenges girls face and the futures they deserve.
