We fight for a world where every girl chooses her own future. We team up with grassroots leaders to make sure girls are educated, respected, & heard. 👩🏽🌎

Hi friends! It’s still us—even without our blue checkmark. We're not paying for verification, but we plan to keep tweeting to connect with our community. In the Global South, Twitter is an accessible advocacy and networking tool, and we use it to support grassroots leaders.

Last week, @shesthefirst x @girlrising teams met in Nairobi — a rare chance to connect, reflect, dream-storm, swap books, and shape our culture. Thanks to #GlobalGoodxAmani for co-creating this space. Stronger together!

@BigGreenPen @CharityMiles @miles_for_mike Thank you so much for moving for girls with us!

[She's the First @shesthefirst]

@goMichaelM We couldn’t agree more! Girls like Janini inspire us every day.

[She's the First @shesthefirst]

At 2, Janani joined @shantibhavan, a former @shesthefirst partner school. Breaking barriers, she became an engineer—rare in her community. Now 24, she’s a Facilities Engineer at ExxonMobil & a role model for girls like her niece. 💪🌍 https://t.co/X16ndFbzXP

“Allow me go to school, let me write my name.”
This poem, written and recited by Sukeji Modi—a poet and member of She’s the First’s Girls Advisory Council and Board of Directors—shares what’s at stake when girls are denied an education.

Annie found her voice and used it to spark change in Arizona. She’s currently working with girls from 21 countries on a campaign that will champion for girls’ rights globally ✊🏽🌎

@girlrising We’re so proud of Zainab and Lara showing us that, whether in climate action or education, girls’ voices bring hope and light the way to a better tomorrow.

[She's the First @shesthefirst]

@Gufasha_Found We love seeing the What Would You Do? game in action! 🌟 Thrilled that it’s helping girls at Gufasha Girls Leadership Academy build confidence, think critically, and speak boldly. Thank you for sharing this impact!

[She's the First @shesthefirst]

@HVMFoundationKE @kate_kiama @HVMFoundationKE We’re so glad the girls left empowered with tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive💪

Tandeep found her voice at her first @shesthefirst chapter meeting. That spark led her to the U.S Senate, where she now ensures that girls' voices are heard at the highest level of power:

At our March STF Chapter meet-up, girls from Texas shared real stuff:
- Burnout
- Dehumanization from male peers
- Mental Health struggles
They left feeling empowered to speak up about their rights. We are so proud of each of them!

Girls in Aliza’s community were expected to stay quiet. But she chose a different path. With support from She’s the First & our graduated partner BlinkNow, she's in medical school, on a path to becoming a gynecologist.
Listen to Aliza’s powerful poem: https://t.co/cLpBb3RcgM

From being told she was “nothing” to graduating uni, playing for Nepal’s national soccer team & founding Himshaakti Foundation—Sirjana proves what’s possible when girls are supported to thrive. ✨
