We advance children's rights and equality for girls around the world.
About us
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children's rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child, but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected. Working with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children's rights from birth to adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge. For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries. We won't stop until we are all equal.

Twenty-four hours after the missile attack on #Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in #Kyiv, Plan International Ukraine staff Lina Palij and Oksana Awad went to see the ongoing rescue efforts. Hundreds of volunteers were still on site. Following Monday’s attack Plan International’s partners Words Help; Tvoya Opora and Partnership for Every Child (P4EC) were among the organisations that rushed to the scene to provide medical assistance, including to children with disabilities and assist with emergency mental health support to children and their caregivers. The death toll from Monday’s attacks across Kyiv currently stands at 34, including 4 children. Over 120 people have been injured. Civilians, especially children, must be protected and not targeted. Plan International demands an immediate and unequivocal end to all grave violations against children in conflict and for international humanitarian law #IHL to be respected in the ongoing war in #Ukraine, especially relating to the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure such as hospitals. A maternity clinic in Kyiv was also damaged hours after the strike on the children’s hospital.

For children, adolescents and youth, the #ClimateCrisis poses a direct and indirect threat to their right to education. We believe that education can equip young people with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the Climate Crisis 🌍 📚 https://lnkd.in/ev-YrpdP
