Looking for ways to support girls' equal rights in your area and in school? Browse our suggestions and see if you can find ideas that you'd like to try.
Be there for a friend
Support a girl who feels alone, is being bullied, or faces negative attitudes at home or in her village or town. Just listening and offering support is worth a lot
If you know a girl who's being treated unfairly at home, like having to do too many chores or not being allowed to hang out with friends, you can really help her. First, just be there for her to talk to and let her know she's not alone. You can also share information about how everyone deserves to be treated equally. If it's okay and won't cause trouble, maybe talk to her parents, kindly and respectfully, about how she feels. Remember, showing you care and standing by her can make a big difference.

Work together
Start a club or group in your school or neighborhood to discuss girls' rights. Plan activities that support girls in your community, and use posters, presentations, or social media to raise awareness. Help organize or fundraise for ideas and projects that, for example, support girls' education or protest against child marriage.

Remember that girls can't make all the difference all by themselves. Boys (and men) have a great responsibility to stand by their side, act right, and fight for gender equality.
Use art, music, writing, or drama

Speak with local stakeholders
Meet with local leaders or organizations to discuss girls' equal rights. Share ideas about how the community can work together to support and empower girls. Also, reach out to local media and offer to be interviewed about girls' rights, or invite them to one of your public events.
Remember, your actions, no matter how small, can lead to significant changes. Your voice and efforts can greatly make your community a fairer and safer place for girls!
