Girls all around the world are facing closed doors. And they’ve been stuck behind them for too long.
That’s why Plan International USA works with partners like you to help girls push through barriers to unlock their full power and potential.
International Day of the Girl is October 11. Our global movement is committed to empowering girls to push through doors and unlock their potential. We believe a #GirlUnlocked is a key to our future, and with the support of our partners we can fight for a better world and possibilities for girls everywhere.

Check out our website where you’ll find our advocacy hub filled with:
• Events- Plan’s young activists are hosting and leading a free summit and training focused on girls’ safety and online harassment
• Ways you can take action, including petitioning our government officials, gaining hands-on allyship skills and more!
