Plan International Ghana calls for urgent action on girls’ rights and gender equality

Plan International Ghana has highlighted the urgent need for action to uphold girls' rights and achieve gender equality in the country. The organization emphasized that despite some progress, many girls still face challenges such as child marriage, teenage pregnancy, and limited access to education. These issues hinder their development and potential, necessitating a collective response from stakeholders including government entities, civil society, and communities.

During a recent event marking the International Day of the Girl Child, Plan International Ghana called for enhanced advocacy efforts to eliminate barriers that restrict girls' rights. They urged decision-makers to prioritize policies that promote gender equality and empower young women. The organization believes that by addressing these critical issues through collaborative efforts, it can create a more equitable society where every girl can thrive and realize her full potential.
