Today is Int'l Day of the Girl - a day to celebrate achievements, reflect on inequalities that still persist, and remember that meaningful progress in girls' education requires better communication, collaboration & commitment. Our GEC film says it all...#RightsFreedomPotential FCDO Girls’ Education

Privileged to be at PSVI aiming to prevent sexual violence. It’s clear the act is rooted in a patriarchal lack of respect for women and girls - so is the lack of action around it. Many commitments made so far - let’s make sure rhetoric meets reality #ForSurvivorsWithSurvivors

To capitalise on the GEC's vast portfolio of 41 projects across 17 countries, we have compiled a wealth of learning on key interventions that improve girls' educational opportunities. Today, we launched the first GEC Learning Brief on ending SRGBV - enjoy! #16DaysOfActivism

Making the case for why foundational learning efforts must not overlook the most marginalised. It is possible, pragmatic and a priority. Thank you to my co-authors, Rona Bronwin and Kate Jefferies at FCDO Girls’ Education and for Global Partnership for Education for highlighting this important issue.

This past week, we celebrated Girls' Education Challenge, one of the largest girls’ education investments (Ā£855m), with the largest timeframe (12 years) and scope (41 projects, 17 countries). Thank you Andrew Mitchell for being one of the original architects of the GEC and for celebrating with us.

During our Girls' Education Challenge event, our panel was asked: What are you most proud of about the GEC? We discussed the impacts on girls, their families, communities and societies as a whole. Thank you Helen Grant OBE MP, Matt Reed and Angeline Murimirwa CAMFED - Campaign for Female Education for your inspiring insights.

"How a society treats its most vulnerable is always the measure of its humanity." Thank you FCDO Girls’ Education for having the humanity and bravery to have a single-minded focus on the world’s most marginalised girls #12YearsoftheGEC

Focusing on girls' education is not about leaving boys behind – it’s about levelling an unequal playing field. This video explains it all...
