The Girl Child Platform is a meeting point for all organizations and initiatives working to improve and strengthen young girls' position in society. Together we can make a greater difference and change in order to achieve a society free of oppression and discrimination. The Girl Child Platform aims to create a long-term and sustainable cooperation between all of these stakeholders, in order to raise issues of girls' rights on the Swedish political agenda. Girl Child Platform is a three year project funded by the Swedish Postcode Lottery and is run by the Hunger Project and Crossing Boarders.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD Raise awareness on International Day of the Girl Child Partnership with minister of gender equality important!

We’ve just launched a campaign called #tjejkunnig or #girlsmart which is based on the realization that it is often adults who have a voice in matters relating to young girls. We think it is important to acknowledge that only those who identify themselves as girls, can truly know what it means to be a girl today. Girl Smart will therefore help adults, the media and those who make the decisions on issues concerning girls, to listen to the girls' perspectives. A social media campaign because that’s where the youths are.

Matsekope Epicenter: Rosemary, 24, comes to the epicenter of every month to learn more about how she can take care of their children. Today she has learned about how to fix food / infant formula. She has even begun to understand what responsibility it is to have a child. "Now I will think it through properly before I get another baby". At the Asantekrom epicenter I met several girls, but Abigail struck me the most. Abigail is 18 and lives in Asantekrom. Abigail is in high school. Wants to become a doctor to help people. She does not want to remain in the village and not be educated and not have a job. "It's harder to get education as a girl, the boys and the community do not think we are important"

What It Means to Be a Strategic Organization Progress via entrepreneurial leaps Guided by “What’s Missing?” to enable humanity to take the next leap. Vision far exceeds resources. “Creative Tension” & “Emotional Tension” One response - lower the vision We hold our vision, draw energy from the creative tension, and tolerate discomfort long enough to pull reality up to our vision.
