At Youth for a Sustainable World (YSW), we recognize the critical importance of strengthening girls’ rights and advancing gender equality to create a more inclusive and equitable society. Empowering girls to claim their rights, access opportunities, and lead transformative change is at the core of our work.

Across Kenya, YSW is working tirelessly to ensure that adolescent girls and young women are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and support to challenge gender inequality. Our initiatives focus on enhancing life skills for gender equality, bodily integrity, and intersectional feminism. Through these programs, we are fostering a generation of girls who confidently navigate the challenges they face, including those related to their health, education, and social status.

We are also committed to the elimination of harmful practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage, which undermine the rights and well-being of girls. Strengthening girls’ rights goes beyond addressing immediate needs; it requires systemic change. YSW advocates for policy reforms, offers platforms for girls’ voices, and builds local networks to sustain the progress made. By tackling harmful social norms, increasing access to education, and promoting leadership, we are helping young women take charge of their futures.

By advancing gender equality, we are not only empowering girls today but also shaping a more just and sustainable world for future generations. Together, we can ensure every girl’s right to a life of dignity, freedom, and opportunity.
