in media, mobile, brand and international development, an independent<br />
creative non-profit working from nine global locations and active in over 50<br />

Through their work, a girl can start to express herself, value herself, and build<br />
the relationships she needs, in tangible, measurable ways. When she has the<br />
widespread belief and support of others, and when there are millions of girls<br />
like her, these changes become a new normal. Where she can seek out the<br />
things she needs – from vaccination to education and economic opportunity.<br />
They create youth brands and mobile platforms that millions of young people<br />
love and interact with, in ways that empower girls to change their lives. They<br />
focus on a girl’s whole world, along her entire journey to adulthood and create<br />
with her, so she can tell her story.<br />
Power to change: For a girl to become empowered, she needs the support of the<br />
world around her.<br />
Demand and supply: Working with partners, who supply the services girls need<br />
to be safe, healthy, educated and economically secure.<br />
Commitment to safeguarding: Girl Effect is committed to ensuring the safety<br />
and protection of all children and young people.<br />
