Every girl has the right to feel safe at home, in her relationships and in her community.
But too many are living in fear of someone they should be able to trust.
This is a violation of their rights. We must protect girls from all forms of violence. Now.

When a crisis hits, girls don’t just lose their homes or schools.
They lose their safety. Their choices. Their childhoods.
No girl should be forced to marry - not in conflict, not in crisis, not ever.
Every girl has a right to protection and to decide her future. Always. #GirlGoals
In crises, girls face violence, child marriage, and lost #education. In #Yemen, 13-year-old Kholoud dreams of becoming a journalist to show life in a displacement camp. She and girls like her urgently need access to quality education. #GirlGoals
In times of crisis, girls are often the first to be pulled out of school and the last to return.
Every girl has the right to learn, no matter where she lives or what she's been through.
Education must be part of every emergency response. #GirlGoals

Repost @unwomen: There is no situation in which child marriage is consensual. The day a girl is married, her entire future is compromised.
Still, 1 in 5 girls globally are forced to marry in childhood.

No girl should ever live in fear.
From home to school, from the streets to the workplace, every space should be a safe space.
Safety is a right, not a privilege. Let’s make it a reality.
