♥️Girls deserve equal opportunities

See the impact we're making as we celebrate Women's History Month

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating women here in the U.S. and around the world.   The milestones women have reached globally — in classrooms, workplaces and communities — are nothing short of incredible. These achievements are only possible when girls everywhere can grow up with the power, protection and opportunities they deserve.  Despite progress, girls are often disproportionately tasked with household chores, deprived of playtime and exploration, faced with lower-quality education and discouraged from pursuing their dreams.  Friend, Save the Children is working to ensure that girls and women get the education, the support and the chance to succeed just like their peers. We’re improving access to learning, creative spaces and medical care for young girls everywhere. But we can’t do it without you. Celebrate the women in your life by making a gift that helps educate a girl. Visit our Gift Guide to learn more.   Mim* leads a session about children’s rights at a Save the Children child-friendly space in Bangladesh. In a small community in Bangladesh, 16-year-old Mim* is already a leader — advocating for children’s rights and challenging some of her community's deeply harmful practices.  She often felt unsafe and uncertain about her future since child abuse, child labor and child marriage were prevalent in her community. That started to change when she joined a Save the Children-supported SCOPE program called Childspace.  Through this program, she learned about child rights and child protection. It was a safe space for her to learn, play, spend time with friends — and find her voice. She used her newfound knowledge and confidence to directly address harmful practices in her community.  When Mim found out that one of her friends, who was just 14, was planning to marry a 17-year-old boy, she stepped in to stop it. “Stopping child marriage is my biggest achievement, because I could save two people from harm,” she said.  Today, Mim has taken on a leadership role at Childspace, leading sessions and teaching other girls how to protect themselves and speak up.  Friend, during Women’s History Month, we must continue to break down barriers and ensure girls and women everywhere get equal opportunities, education and respect.  Honor the women who shaped your life by making a donation through our Gift Guide to help educate a girl.
