It’s Organization

Children’s rights and gender equality are promoted by the independent development and humanitarian organization Plan International.

Every youngster has strength and potential, which we believe in. But this is frequently repressed as a result of inequality, violence, exclusion, and prejudice. And girls are the ones most impacted.

Together with kids, teens, our supporters, and partners, we work to create a just world by addressing the underlying issues that vulnerable kids, including girls, face.

We are in favor of children’s rights from conception till adulthood. Additionally, we give them the tools they need to deal with challenges and emergencies. Using our reach, expertise, and knowledge, we influence changes in practice and policy at local, national, and international levels.

We have been forming strong alliances for kids for more than 85 years, and we are presently operating in more than 80 nations.
