About the Girls Project
Girls and women in developing countries are "because they are girls" even though they are in poverty, and because they are girls and women, they are placed at the bottom of society, making it difficult to go to school or receiving medical care. We are in a difficult situation even to lead a normal life, such as not being able to feed a good meal. In particular, in the pandemic of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), premature marriage, forced marriage, gender-based violence, unwanted pregnancy, and dropouts are prominent.
The Plan's Girls Project protects girls who are discriminated against, prejudiced and victims of harmful habits, while at the same time empowering them to empower themselves, their families, the community and the next. We support you to become a leader who will bring about positive changes to generations.
