For the eighth consecutive year, Plan International Canada is rolling out its Girls Belong Here program, which provides unique professional development opportunities for girls, young women and gender-diverse youth from all over Canada. These young individuals ages 14 to 24 – students, changemakers, activists and advocates in their communities – step boldly into high-profile leadership roles such as CEOs, corporate executives and politicians, breaking barriers and showcasing their inherent power to lead.
Through Girls Belong Here, Plan has already facilitated almost 160 mentorship and skill-building experiences for close to 200 young Canadians. These have involved leaders from corporations, government, civil society organizations and academic institutions. Young people exchange knowledge and ideas with these leaders, providing their perspectives on various organizational strategies and initiatives to advance gender equality.
This remarkable program demonstrates the powerful difference girls can make when they can access equal opportunities. It affirms the invaluable contributions of young women and gender-diverse youth to our society.
"As determined optimists, we've intentionally designed this program to unleash the boundless potential of young changemakers and foster a more equal and just world," says Anjum Sultana, Plan's Director of Youth Leadership and Policy Advocacy. "Girls themselves illuminate the path to a brighter, more equal future. We're here to support their incredible journey as they lead the way. We will continue to champion their leadership until we are all equal."
Support today's young leaders as they break barriers, advocate for equality and ignite change. For more information on how to get involved in this exciting initiative, please visit: PlanCanada.ca/GirlsBelongHere. You can also watch the 2023 Girls Belong Here Highlight Video.
