Call on the UN To Advance Equality for Women and Girls Around the World
In the developing world, millions of girls are denied basic human rights like access to education. And yet when they are empowered, girls can lift themselves, and whole communities, out of poverty.
Right now, world leaders are working to finalize the Sustainable Development Goals for 2015-2030, the next set of priorities for global development. These priorities will shape the world for generations to come... and we can help encourage UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to use them to advance the rights of women and girls everywhere.
Will you help join the movement to prioritize equality, freedom, and opportunity for the world's girls?
Please join Plan Canada as we urge United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to fully champion gender equality in the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. Sign the petition now.
Dear Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon,
In the developing world, millions of girls are denied basic human rights like access to education. And yet when they are empowered, girls can lift themselves, and whole communities, out of poverty.
As world leaders work to finalize the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals, I urge you to do everything in your power to support Goal 5, Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

Girls in developing countries are some of the most disadvantaged people on the planet. Empowering girls and women to participate as full members of the society would fundamentally transform the world and ignite opportunities to eradicate poverty and injustice around the world.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
