COVID-19 is devastating girls’ lives

This pandemic is causing the highest surges in child marriage rates we’ve seen in years. And it’s estimated that 11 million girls will never return to school once COVID-19 is over. The fight for gender equality cannot take a backseat right now.

By joining Plan International USA, you can help make sure that COVID-19 does not reverse the progress toward girls’ and children’s rights.

Plan’s

expertise

We work with and for girls, centering our programs around five key impact areas: Gender & Youth Equality, Education, Maternal & Child Health, Skills & Work and Humanitarian Response.

Maternal & Child Health

Too many girls, children and young women lack access to quality healthcare, particularly sexual and reproductive healthcare. Plan is committed to health equity, promoting healthy behaviors and environments, and enabling strong healthcare systems so that girls and communities can thrive.

Gender & Youth Equality

Plan works to remove harmful barriers like child marriage and human trafficking. We stand up for youth rights and ensure girls stay protected and can take charge of their futures.

Skills & Work

Girls and young women have big goals for their futures, but often, they don’t have the resources, networks, agency and access to pursue them. Plan provides girls and young women with programming that prepares them for professional careers of their choosing.
