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.

I support Power to Girls in calling on my government to raise the legal age of marriage for girls to 18. Because the law setting the legal age of marriage for girls at 16 is unfair and unequal.

Le pouvoir aux filles, c'est la victoire contre les mariages d'enfants et toutes les inégalités qu'elles subissent.
Le pouvoir aux filles, c'est leur permettre de briser le silence, de se prononcer sur leur vie, leurs choix, leurs rêves, leurs besoins...
Le pouvoir aux filles, c'est un véritable code d'accès à une éducation complète de qualité et un plein épanouissement.
Le pouvoir aux filles, c'est le signal fort pour qu'ensemble, toutes et tous, nous nous engageons à valoriser chaque fille. Car, valoriser une fille, c'est valoriser l'humanité.
