Jill Meagher’s senseless rape and murder sparked an impassioned national debate on the safety of women. How much has really changed?

It’s International Youth Day, but an entire generation of young women, girls and gender-diverse people are about to have their future erased.

The world’s most climate vulnerable countries have been forced into accepting an agreement which simply will not be enough for communities already experiencing devastating climate change, with children and girls the hardest hit. 

Many of the young girls surveyed said that false information online makes them depressed, sad, and anxious, writes Susanne Legena.

COVID has had devastating impacts on girls’ education in particular, unwinding decades of progress, writes Susanne Legena CEO of Plan.

Social media is the new frontier for gendered violence and the rapid escalation we’ve witnessed during the coronavirus pandemic is chilling.

If there is one thing the pandemic has taught us, it is that no person, no country or global economy is immune to its devastating impacts.

This emergency for girls has already caused a sharp uptick in potentially deadly unintended pregnancies, child marriages, and sexual abuse.

Future generations and the world’s most vulnerable children are relying on us to act in their best interests, writes Susanne Legena.
