We need to #endchildmarriage now so that all girls can have an equal future, and a future that they decide.
🙋♀️🌏📢
One of the targets for the #GenerationEquality Action Coalition on gender-based violence is that 55 more countries outlaw #ChildMarriage without exceptions.
We need to #EndChildMarriage now. 🌎🌍🌏

Girls’ access to education is so much more than just learning in the classroom. It's providing them with the confidence & ownership to make decisions about their own lives, bodies & futures.
By raising our hands to #endchildmarriage, we support girls to realise their rights. 🙋♀️
Let girls be students, not child brides! I raise my hand to advocate for the political & financial commitments necessary to realise education for all. I can't think of an investment with a better return. Join me & #RaiseYourHand to support @GPforEducation raiseyourhand.net

"When women & girls can make the most fundamental choices about their bodies, they not only gain in terms of autonomy, but also through advances in health & education, income & safety."

I’m so sad to hear this. I met Rafaat many years ago at a time when it was rare to see Asian women active in public life. She was like an Auntie to me and a legend in every sense of the word. She inspired so many of us and will forever live in our hearts. @JANTrust @SajdaMughal

#HateCrime is on the rise but we believe there is #AnotherWayForward.
Another Way Forward aims to empower young women to stand up against hate and #extremism, so they can mobilise against those who would seek to divide us through spreading hateful lies like #Islamophobia

We aim to empower young women like Kira to #standupagainsthate and #racism, so they can re-evaluate their own privilege and actively campaign for change, because, when we leave one person behind, we are all worse off.
