A week later, and we’re still talking about it. 📢

On #InternationalDayoftheGirl, we came together around one shared ambition: changing the forecast for girls.

The day may be over, but the commitment isn’t.

🎥 Here’s a look back.

How can we #ChangeHerForecast?

For girls, the #climatecrisis is not something in the distant future. It is happening now, and the consequences are life-changing.

Here's why we are calling on governments, donors, community leaders, and the international community to act NOW👇🏾

“Choices made now will determine whether a generation of Syrian children are able to rebuild their lives, or whether years of lost learning will deepen vulnerability.” Regional Director @hmaalim addressing the UN Security Council

Here's his full speech https://t.co/jF4eCB790O

[Plan MEESA @PlanMEESA]

We listened. We learned. We committed. 💙

Ahead of #IDG2026, we brought together girls and young people, partners, donors and allies to explore how the #climatecrisis is shaping girls’ lives, and what we can do about it.

The question now: How will you help #ChangeHerForecast?

[Plan MEESA @PlanMEESA]

We know what puts girls at risk. The conversation now is about how we act.

In a single week in late August, at least 4 children in #Gaza were killed & many more injured.

That week was not an exception. 301 children have been killed in Gaza in the 11 months since a ceasefire was announced.
