Girls and gender-expansive youth have been organising, resisting, and agitating in their communities for millennia. They are on the frontlines in struggles for freedom and liberation, fighting for their human rights, access to education, sexual and reproductive rights, spaces for political voice, the end to child marriage and gender-based violence, and responding to crises. From Africa’s anti-colonial movements to the Arab spring to climate justice organising and everything in between - their resistance has always sparked and sustained transformational change. And yet, too often girls and gender-expansive youth are separated from resources and shut out from decision-making spaces, their power deliberately obscured and hidden from view.
