Believes poverty can end if we the people take action. Addressing gender inequality is key to a better world. Have opinions but happy to change IF convinced.
12 million girls are married before their 18th birthday every year. This #IDG2025 we’re amplifying girls voices to help #EndChildMarriage. Without immediate action, 150 million more girls could be forced into marriage by 2030. Read more: https://t.co/TTbGVn4gBc
Excited to have Ciara, a youth activist from Ireland, take over my role as Chief Programmes Officer today as part of #InternationalDayOfTheGirl#IDG and discuss @PlanGlobal's research on #ChildMarriage @CEFMU. Listening to youth voices is critical in addressing this.
Today we launch our plan to get lifesaving aid to 114m people in greatest need on planet.
We’re forced by cuts to hyper prioritise, but we’re determined to do as much as we can with what we have.
We ask just 1% of what world spent on defence in 2024.

Israeli shelling and gunfire killed at least 51 people and injured over 200 as they waited for aid in #Gaza — the latest attack on civilians risking everything for survival. Children are starving, targeted and trapped by the aid blockade. This nightmare must end. #LiftTheBlockade
Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza.
We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work.

"We need to calm and hold our emotions to move forward and reach out to the most needed people."
Our #emergencyresponse team are conducting rapid needs assessment and providing immediate support to communities most affected by the #earthquake in #Myanmar
"We are now on the way to Mandalay, the roads are damaged... In some towns we passed, buildings are also damaged, and people are out on the streets. Right now, help is needed. It's still hard to determine the exact extent of the damage." - Su, Plan #Myanmar#earthquake
"Although a full picture of the damage is still emerging, most of us have never seen such destruction” says Haider Yaqub, Country Director for Plan International in Myanmar, following the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake which struck Myanmar this morning https://t.co/ztoDJpyZC4
Plan International is devasted to hear of the 7.7 magnitude #earthquake in #Myanmar. We are on the ground and ready to respond to help children and their communities. Our thoughts are with all affected. Local spokespeople available.
Around the world, girls’ and women’s rights are increasingly under threat and there is a rollback of hard-won progress towards #GenderEquality. This #IWD2025, join us in demanding urgent action to uphold #GenderEquality💪🏽 @PlanGlobal
“That’s what girls have to think about all the time.”

“Am I right, ladies?”

Well done for saying it, Saoirse Ronan.
End Violence Against Women & Girls💜
#EndVAWG#GrahamNortonShow#BBC
I admire Saoirse Ronan so much - when she mentions how women have to think constantly how to defend ourselves from attack and everyone goes quiet and then cheers. She's so right!
