we do over 100 years working to help girls exercise their rightss. Together with girls at risk of marriage, we dialogue with influential leaders in their communities, who can help change harmful habits and oppose child marriage.
Girls around the world They are coming together to generate change in their communitieseven in the most challenging environments. From Save the Children we support this effort partner with girl-led groups on their own terms. We have collaborated with girls in vulnerable regions such as Yemen and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and in Bolivia, Colombia, Nigeria, and we have done adaptation programs for younger girls in China, Indonesia, Mexico and Vietnam.
