The world cannot afford to wait 202 years to close the economic gender gap 🙅🏻♀️
Key findings from our new Asia Girls Report & Girls' Leadership Index shows we must increase investments in education, training and professional development for girls and young women ✊ #GirlsGetEqual
📣 Half a population unsupported is half of the world’s innovation and potential untapped.
Our Regional Director @bdengle is presenting key findings on economic opportunities from our new Asia Girls' Leadership Index and Report launching March 2020!
Bhagyashri Dengal @PlanAsia Regional Director answers our favourite question: “what about the boys?”. Gender Transformative Education is about changing harmful gender norms that impact both girls’ and boys’ education. #girlsedu@BrookingsInst@PlanGlobal
@bdengle @PlanAsia Regional Director reminds us of the important role parents and community leaders play in promoting gender equality in and through education. Gender transformation must take place at all levels. #girlsedu@PlanGlobal@BrookingsInst
School is a space in which girls exercise their agency, make their voice heard, and access their first leadership opportunities.
Our Regional Director @bdengle with @hugorstwilliams @CKwauk @RobertG_Jenkins@leannajoon & @MarthaMuhwezi are kicking off the #GirlsEdu symposium!
“We need to take a life cycle approach to girls education," says @bdengle#GirlsEdu
The necessary changes require a multi-level approach combining three aspects: girls’ empowerment, families’ & community mobilisation; economic resources and incentives; & legal & policy reform
As a result of gender inequality in education,girls are also denied the chance to develop skills that will help them take charge in their homes,careers,communities & countries.
We're with @BrookingsGlobal calling for a gender-transformative approach to #GirlsEdu#GirlsGetEqual
A Day to respond, nurture, empower, respect, recognize and embrace our young girl influencers and the leaders of tomorrow. Join us! #DayoftheGirl@Plan_India@tempestjune@bdengle
With #GirlsTakeover, we’re asking governments and businesses to take action – in homes, boardrooms, political institutions, the media – to end violence, discrimination and injustice against girls and women. #DayoftheGirl#MeToo
