Until we are all equal

Hunger, economic instability, climate change and conflict are devastating the lives of millions, pushing them further into disadvantage and inequality. Girls are bearing the greatest burden of this injustice.

Plan International Australia works alongside communities globally, delivering emergency response and long-term development programs to see girls valued and empowered, so that future generations inherit a brighter, more equitable future.

Together, we have the power to move humanity towards a better tomorrow for girls and communities globally.

Since the war broke out in April 2023 in Sudan, more than half a million people have crossed into South Sudan using various border crossings such as Renk in Upper Nile state, which is the biggest entry point. The figures continue to grow as the war in Sudan persists. Most of the people arrive hungry, tired and desperate. In Renk, around 20,000 people are taking shelter with 6,000 in the transit centre and 14,000 in three locations outside the transit centre. Every day, thousands of refugees and returnees relocate from Renk to other areas. Simultaneously, a similar number of people arrive from Sudan in Renk posing challenges to humanitarian efforts in managing and providing support.

Fade Dido, the mother of eight children, does not know what climate change is, but she does know what it’s like to be constantly hungry. A record-breaking hunger crisis has struck Ethiopia’s nomad community particularly hard; their lives are now being threatened by a severe drought. Living in the camp is Fade Dido, a 24-year-old de facto single parent of eight children. Her oldest child is a 10-year-old boy and the youngest, daughter Kali who is sleeping in Dido’s lap, is one year and nine months. “When Kali was born, we still had 50 cows. Now we have none left,” Dido tells us. Currently, 11 million people are suffering from food insecurity in Ethiopia’s drought-affected regions. Since late 2021, nearly seven million animals have died. This has been a complete catastrophe for the pastoralists, as their livestock provide them with not only food but also their only source of income.

Gender Compass

Leverage our new research tool to shift social norms and help build a more gender-equal society.

Plan International has been operating in Cambodia since 2002, helping poor children access their rights to education. One of our key priorities is to increase primary school completion rates but with many schools poorly equipped and teachers inadequately trained, this is challenging. We are working in cooperation with the Ministry of Education to improve teacher training and through learning groups and remedial courses, we develop vulnerable pupil's ability to help them stay in school. We also support particularly poor families to enable their children to attend school by providing them with financial assistance through our scholarship programme.

At just 15-years-old, Fanta, a young refugee from Nigeria, faced the social and cultural pressures of an arranged marriage to a man three times her age. Although her father dictated this fate, Fanta courageously defied the established norms and succeeded in breaking off the marriage. Forced to leave her home and seek refuge in Niger more than four years ago due to attacks in her country by armed groups, Fanta and her family live in precarious conditions. So when a man in his 40s offered Fanta’s father a sizable dowry to marry his daughter, he agreed to give her away in marriage. "It was very devastating news for me, I started crying,” says Fanta. “I told my mother that I wasn't interested in marriage. I wanted to continue my business of selling pancakes and also learn sewing so that I could become a fashion designer. I'd already enrolled on the sewing course. I just don't feel ready to get married."

Child Marriage Stories: Girls and Young Women Leading the Charge

Every girl deserves the right to choose who, when – and if – she wants to marry.

But around the globe, child marriage denies girls the freedom to make their own decisions, be in charge of their bodies, and to have choices and opportunities for their futures.
