Three years on…

And Sudan’s girls are paying the highest price for this forgotten war.


Girls such as Mariam*, an 18-year-old from El Fasher in North Darfur, have experienced unimaginable violence including rape, but remain hopeful that they will return to school and rebuild their lives.

We Stand with Girls

The world is failing girls — but we won’t. Across the globe,
girls face more risks and fewer choices, but they aren’t backing down. We are built for this moment, standing
fiercely beside them. When girls lead, communities rise — and a future where we are all equal becomes
possible.
