Plan International is an independent
development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and
equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But
this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination.
And it is girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young
people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the
root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We
support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable
children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity.
