Plan International is a global non-governmental organisation that focuses on child rights and equality for girls.
We support young people to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to claim their rights, access services and lead fulfilling lives. Inclusivity is a central pillar of our work and we place a specific focus on girls and young women, especially the most vulnerable. Additionally, we strive to reach the most marginalised communities and those with disabilities, who are most often left behind. Plan believes that gender inequality and harmful social norms need to be challenged in order for girls and young women to be empowered to realise their rights. We therefore adopt an inclusive, gender transformative approach in our work.
We have been implementing projects, carrying out research and influencing policy and practice for over 75 years. We are present in over 70 countries.
