John,
Every three seconds, a girl under 18 gets married. Every 10 minutes, an adolescent girl dies from violence. And girls are twice as likely as boys to never even step foot in a classroom. Today, you have the chance to help change this.

This International Women’s Day, we’re asking lawmakers to support the Girls LEAD Act, which provides resources to empower girls to become more civically engaged in their own communities – creating a better, brighter world. And we need YOU to become one of the 10,000 members of this community to join us in speaking out before midnight tonight:
Add your name now to urge Congress to support the Girls LEAD Act. By signing this petition, you’ll be helping to create a more equal and inclusive future for girls around the world.
When girls feel empowered to participate in their community from a young age, they’re more likely to remain engaged citizens, voters and leaders – creating a stronger, safer and happier future for everyone.
Thank you for bringing us closer to that future today.
Leslie Archambeault Director of Gender Policy and Advocacy Save the Children
