Girl Up is committed to supporting young leaders in their Passionate Action for social change and seeking feedback from their Global Community to ensure Accountability in maintaining their values.

Youth-Centred

Youth voices deserve to be heard and considered at the highest levels of decision-making. The movement is open to all young people, who drive our programming and shape our strategy. Young leaders are the heart of the movement working to advance gender equity, close the gender gap in leadership worldwide, and mobilise their communities to create social change and accelerate opportunities for girls globally. 

Passionate Action

Youth have the power to drive change. The core of Girl Up programming intentionally focuses on equity for girls and women in both public and private spheres worldwide. Girl Up supports the effort of our members fighting for justice on social issues that intersect with gender equity including systemic racism, indigenous rights, poverty, gender-based violence, access to education and healthcare, climate change, and civic participation.

Global Community

Girl Up fosters a supportive global community of young leaders, partners, and supporters who lift each other up and learn from one another. Within Girl Up events, programming, and online community we strive to create an inclusive environment that values and celebrates each member across their identities.
