Empowering Girls
Rotary is helping protect, empower and create equity for girls in our local communities and around the world.
Empowering Girls around the world
Girls and women within society continue to face challenges in their everyday lives, including unequal access to educational choice and opportunity, exploitation and abuse including human trafficking, lack of access to menstrual hygiene products, wage discrimination, injustice and much more.
Rotary’s objective is to encourage us all to work together with our communities to modify and create service projects to enhance the quality of life for girls and improve their ability to live safe, healthy and productive lives. Together let’s create an inclusive framework which gives is just and equitable for all.
