Become Her Defender
Protect her future with your monthly gift
With your monthly gift of $29 or more, you’ll keep her healthy, safe and educated so she can achieve her dreams — and change the world.
It’s dangerous to be a girl.
Every three seconds, a girl is forced to marry. Every year, nearly 1 million girls and women die due to lack of clean water, and 60 million girls are sexually assaulted on their way to or at school.
Every day, girls are forced to sacrifice their futures. You can play a pivotal role in defending the rights and safety of every girl.
Your monthly gift to Plan International can give her an education, peace, health, dignity, security, freedom … a future.
My biggest fear is that I will be raped on my way to school or to fetch water early in the morning. If I got pregnant at this stage of my life, it would ruin my future. If I were to catch a disease, I am risking my own life.

How your gift helps
Her Defenders know that when girls win, we all win.
As Her Defender, you’ll celebrate when a girl gets to go to school, and when a child marriage is stopped. You’ll cheer when a girl lands her first job and ensure that her ideas are heard.
Together, we can create a future where every girl is safe, empowered and free to reach her full potential.
And we won’t stop until we are all equal.
