FOUNDATIONS: Girls Leading Change
A global conversation on protecting girls’ rights, advancing equality, and empowering the next generation of leaders.
How do we protect progress for girls in a time of growing backlash against gender equality?
Around the world, hard-won gains for gender equality are under threat, putting the rights, health, and future of adolescent girls at risk. As opposition to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) grows, the need to invest in girls’ leadership, agency, and voices has never been more urgent.
Join Save the Children on September 21, 2026, for FOUNDATIONS: Girls Leading Change—a powerful conversation exploring what it will take to safeguard progress, advance the rights of women and girls, and ensure girls can shape the future they deserve.
Through powerful storytelling, expert insights, and firsthand perspectives, we’ll examine what’s at stake for girls around the world, why their leadership is essential to lasting change, and the collective action needed to protect their rights and expand opportunities for generations to come.
At this pivotal moment, we must confront the global backlash against gender equality, elevate solutions that are making a difference, and renew our shared commitment to ensuring every girl can learn, lead, and thrive.
Whether you are a policymaker, student, advocate, philanthropist, or supporter, your voice matters.
