The Working Group on Girls
An NGO committee working for Girls, with Girls, at the United Nations
Our Vision:
A world where girls, in all their diversity, exercise and enjoy their full rights.
Our Mission:
- Advancing the rights and status of girls in all areas of the world and at all stages of their lives
- Ensuring girls inclusion as equal participants in all decisions affecting them
- Supporting girls to develop their full potential through WGG Member organizations
- Providing girls with the opportunities to advocate for their rights through the United Nations (UN) systems and structures
Our Work:
- Working in partnership with girls, advocate for the ongoing inclusion and development of girls’ rights and dignity through the work of the UN systems and structures.
- Working in partnership with girls, ensure that national governments implement, through policy statements, program development and resource allocation, the commitments to girls’ rights made through international agreements.
- Working in partnership with girls, actively recruit and welcome new organizations to help us set and achieve collective goals needed to bring this work to fruition.
