This is Why Girls and Women Matter

The Issue

Girls and women are disproportionately affected by poverty. In fact, 70% of the 1 billion poorest people in the world are women. That is why girls and women must be at the heart of the fight to end extreme poverty. 

JOIN us today and support girls & women in developing countries.

The key to ending extreme global poverty is empowering women to have the same educational, health, and economic opportunities as men. Helping girls and women will also help their families and communities, which will combat the worst of poverty.

We need to FIGHT for girls and women as Global Citizens.

We’re building a community of Global Citizens who will create a future where everyone is lifted from extreme poverty and where girls and women achieve equality. Together, we can ensure governments around the world invest in the health, education, and economic empowerment of girls and women. Sign up now and let’s end extreme global poverty.
