508 young girls living in poverty in 14 countries across 4 continents were asked what they need to achieve their potential. This is what they have to say:
4
OUR GOALS
5
“I want to learn, be smart and capable; I need an education for that. My schooling needs to be good – it must be free or I will struggle to attend, and it must be safe and nearby or else I will stop going.”
6
“I am my own person and I want to know about my body and how to take care of it – not be ashamed or afraid or worry that when I have children I’ll be in danger or unwell.”
7
“Why are girls raped? I want to make it so that all girls are safe and so that it’s not a regular thing when a girl is hit by someone, anyone, or is touched or cornered or taken away.”
8
“I want to be in control of my future and provide for myself and my family, but I need the opportunities and the know-how first.”
9
“It’s like people look through me because I am a girl. I have a voice but are you listening? Do you even know I exist?”
11
Plan with ME, design for ME Make ME visible, Make ME count
12
Give me a fair share of the money you spend to fix things because WE GIRLS give back more Think of ME now because now is when I need you most
13
Don’t forget ME because I’m too poor, too distant, too silenced for you to know I am here
14
Don’t hold ME back Make fair laws
16
WHAT IS OUR RESPONSE?
