Power to Girls commitments
Featured commitments
Mary Robinson
I support Power to Girls by committing empowering girls. We must address the issue of poverty and marginalisation, which lead to child marriage. We need to recognise that COVID has had a very real effect around the world of increasing the number of people in poverty and therefore increasing child marriage. Let's also work together to make sure girls in Afghanistan don’t get pushed into marriage and can stay in school

SIDA, Sweden
SIDA will support Power to Girls as a donor through investment in key sectors including education, health and SRHR and support for civil society organisations who work with children and young women to liberate the power they hold, and in line with the feminist foreign policy commitments of the government of Sweden we will advocate for an end to child marriage and policies that respect the right of girls’ and boys’ to decide over their own bodies and lives.

As an organisation we commit to continue creating safe spaces for Young Girls through school clubs and community clubs. These spaces will give Girls and opportunity to speak about issues affecting them and receive appropriate guidance.

Apoyo la campaña Poder para niñas y adolescentes desde la educación, educarlas en libertad de derechos y responsabilidades para el uso de sus cuerpos y capacidades, en su derecho a decidir. Por eso nos enfocamos en la educación, porque sin educación será imposible luchar contra los MUITF.

Amar Sonar Poribar (ASP) is our community-led program, born in 2003, aimed to prevent child marriage, through education, awareness, community mobilitation, advocacy and peer-to-peer support in rural south west area of Bangladesh. The unspoken consequence of the pandemic is the increase in early marriages, due to the lack of control over the territory and the closure of schools for quite 20 months. Our commitment today is to reactivate the interventions aimed at stemming this increase.

Apoyo la campaña "Poder para niñas y adolescentes" comprometiéndome a acompañar los procesos organizativos de niñas, adolescentes y juventudes para el fortalecimiento del liderazgo de niñas y adolescentes y la defensa de sus derechos para el abordaje de los matrimonios y uniones infantiles, tempranos y forzados.
Gabriela García Patiño
Apoyo la campaña Poder para niñas y adolescentes al hacer un llamado a los gobiernos para que implementen políticas que aborden los matrimonios y uniones infantiles, tempranas y forzadas desde una mirada integral, implementando acciones que vayan a las causas como la pobreza, la falta de educación y acceso a la salud y garanticen que todas las niñas y adolescentes puedan ejercer sus derechos en libertad.

I support power girls because girls should not be married at a young age and they should have their own choices of their bodies and their future.

I will continue support power to girls by using my skills and past experiences to mobilize and educate fellow girls, families, influential leaders and all relevant stakeholders on the dangers of early and forced marriages and the power of collective voices for all women and girls.
