Commitment
Founded in 1937, Plan International is a development and humanitarian organization advancing children’s rights and equality for girls in over 75 countries. We strive for a just world, working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners. Our mandate puts great priority on working in coalition and supporting grassroots movements to achieve gender equality and girls’ rights.
Plan International’s collaboration with UNESCO over the last five years has robustly focused on gender equality in and through education. Together we have advocated on and influenced policy to eliminate School Related Gender Based Violence, promote Comprehensive Sexuality Education and have worked closely to support Ministries of Education to ensure their Education Sector Plans are gender responsive.
We are committed to supporting the Global Education Coalition for COVID-19 Response with gender equality technical expertise. We are able to develop and review advocacy/policy messaging to ensure gender equality considerations are well integrated and support our global partners, as well as governments and grassroots partners. Additionally, our work with youth movements would allow us to facilitate the engagement of young people in the platform to share the recommendations and solutions to the challenges they are facing directly.
