The Coalition for Adolescent Girls drives new and improves existing programming, policies, and investments that will promote the rights and opportunities of adolescent girls.
The Coalition for Adolescent Girls envisions a world where adolescent girls are able to fully realize their rights, navigate challenges and access opportunities during the transition from childhood to adulthood and beyond
The Coalition seeks to ensure that adolescent girls can:
Minimize their vulnerability to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, violence, exploitation, and abuse;
Obtain a quality education at the primary and secondary levels;
Access safe, affordable and comprehensive girl-friendly health services;
Build and protect their economic assets and opportunities;
Advocate for themselves and their communities;
Count on and be counted by their communities, families, men, and boys as allies;
Participate in decision-making processes that affect their lives, communities, and nations;
Decide if, when and whom they marry and if, when, and how many children to have;
Understand and obtain legal rights.
