Passionate girls from Syracuse, NY advocating and raising awareness & funds to help the hardest to reach girls living where it is the hardest to be a girl.
Our Girl Up Club hosted a movie screening of the Girl Rising documentary. Azmera's story shows extraordinary values of courage and resilience while highlighting the issue of #childmarriage
Girl Rising uses storytelling to inspire action and get girls into classrooms worldwide.
We're proud of our successes! Since 2010, @GirlUp has helped:
- raise the age to marry in #Guatemala to 18
- pass the Children's Law of #Liberia to protect victims of domestic violence
- pass the #GirlsCount act to support birth registration
& more!
