Your Involvement 28

Dear Girl Up Supporters,

Five years ago the United Nations Foundation launched the Girl Up campaign based on one simple belief: that when given the tools, opportunities and the chance to use their voice, adolescent girls can change the world. Since then, our campaign has grown and evolved into a global movement with half a million passionate advocates. What hasn’t changed, however, is Girl Up’s unwavering belief in the power of girls.

As the director of a campaign that proudly touts itself as “for girls, by girls,” I sometimes get funny looks. “You can’t let adolescent girls be the driving force of a global campaign,” they say. “It’s crazy.” They’re wrong; and everything Girl Up has accomplished over the past five years is proof.

These are the statistics: $7.2 million granted to our UN partners to help them with their work on the ground, reaching the hardest to reach girls living where it is hardest to be a girl. 1,200 Girl Up Clubs formed by girls and led by girls in nearly 80 countries across the world. And more than 390,000 girls who took action to ensure the Girls Count Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President.

But even more compelling are the examples, the girls who represent thousands of girls just like them whose lives have been changed through Girl Up. Khadijah, a schoolgirl living in Malawi who dreams of being a poet and no longer has to walk 18 miles to school — each day — because Girl Up provided her a bicycle to get to school safely. Leah, who at 16 rode her bike across the entire United States to raise funds for Girl Up to ensure that girls in other countries had the same right to education that she has. And Rocio, a former Teen Advisor who had the opportunity to introduce First Lady Michelle Obama at Girl Up’s Leadership Summit, and now plans on running for office after college to pursue a career helping other girls be successful.

When you let girls take a leadership role, the impact you can have on their confidence and passion is profound, and the ripple effect you can have on their future and those around them is limitless. This is what makes Girl Up unique, and what makes us so successful.

In the pages of this report you will read about the evolution of the campaign and what we have accomplished. But you will also read about the future of Girl Up. You’ll see what some of our Teen Advisors are up to now, and my vision for Girl Up’s next 5, 10, 20 years. We couldn’t have gotten to this point without your support, and I look forward to taking the next steps together.

Onward and [Girl] Upward,

Melissa Hillebrenner Kilby

Why Now?There are 600 million adolescent girls in the world today. We are currently in the middle of the largest girl generation in history. That makes this the perfect time to invest in girls, and start that ripple effect, which will lead to a brighter, more prosperous future for everyone.

Until recently, girls were merely a blip on the international agenda. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), launched in 2000, didn’t even mention the words “adolescent girl.” A report looking at development assistance from 2005 to 2006 found that less than two cents of every development dollar was targeted toward gender equality for girls.

This was the state of affairs when Girl Up launched in 2010. Very few were talking about girls.

But today, everything has changed. Thanks to social media and 24-hour news channels, there is a larger spotlight on the stories of girls living where it’s hardest to be a girl. People around the world are talking about the grave acts of violence against girls, about the 62 million girls out of school, and about the staggering numbers of girls who are being forced to marry years before their 18th birthday.

So now is the time for words to become action, and action to become results.

Why Girls, Why Now

Why Girls?Girls are powerful and can change the world if simply given the opportunity to succeed. When you invest in a girl, you are investing not only in her, but in her family, her community, and our world.

Girls who receive an education marry later, have fewer children, and are more likely to get healthcare for themselves and their children

Every year of schooling increases a girl’s future earnings by

10-20%

When 10 percent more girls go to school, a country’s GDP increases on average by

3%GDP


The Girl Up Solution

Partnering with the UN to ensure adolescent girls in developing nations are:

☑ Educated

☑ Healthy

☑ Safe

☑ Counted

☑ Given leadership opportunities

Creating a generation of leaders who are empowered and create change globally through:

☑ Advocacy

☑ Fundraising

☑ Education

☑ Service

☑ Community

Girl Up is uniquely positioned to impact the lives of girls everywhere. By following our motto of “for girl, by girls,” Girl Up engages and trains leaders here in the U.S. and around the world to lead today – building skills like communication, advocacy, fundraising, and organizing. These trained leaders, in turn, raise the critical funds needed by our UN partners to reach

girls with direct services. Through advocacy to governments, Girl Up leaders are also impacting global policies that will remove significant barriers to girls’ advancement in developing countries. Girl Up is equally impacting both the beneficiaries of the work and our advocates doing the work – truly uniting girls to change the world.


Working with the UNGirl Up is the United Nations Foundation’s adolescent girl campaign. The United Nations Foundation links the UN’s work with others around the world, mobilizing the energy and expertise of business and nongovernmental organizations to help the UN tackle the most pressing issues of our day — including gender equality.

The United Nations is the one international organization with the reach and vision capable of solving global problems. Through Girl Up’s partnership with the UN, we know that our work is reaching the girls who most need to be reached, and providing them with what they need the most.

SELF-ESTEEM

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

ACTION-BASED EMPOWERMENT

For Girls, By GirlsIn 2015, Girl Up conducted an external evaluation of its Teen Advisor and Club programs, to understand the true nature of the impact we’re having on girl leaders across the U.S. and around the world. The evaluation was conducted by Atlanta-based Creative Research Solutions, who found that Girl Up excels in the strengthening of self-esteem, leadership development and empowerment of girls.

I was 15 and I had very low confidence and I didn’t really like talking to new people… but when I found out about Girl Up, it gave me the confidence to start a new Club. I talked to more people, I started talking to the media. It made me come out of my shell. Girl Up’s mission is to empower girls and girls empowering girls… I was very empowered.

Girl Up members experience a dramatic increase in self-confidence when speaking, acting and being. They conquer their fears by learning to speak eloquently to any audience and are inspired to take on new challenges like advocacy work, all while gaining the confidence needed to see themselves as a powerful force for change.

Girl Up not only helped me see myself as a leader, but also helped me become a more effective and equipped leader because they gave me the tools – training, educational and exposure opportunities, leadership positions – to act as a leader.

Girl Up members are immediately seen and treated as leaders. As a “for girls, by girls” campaign, Girl Up challenges the traditional standards of leadership by handing the reigns to its nearly half a million youth leaders, who drive the campaign forward with their passion to mobilize for global change.

Girl Up doesn’t just talk about how these are issues you should be passionate about, they say this is what you can do about these issues and this is what we all can do. And they really provide you with the setting to really help those issues… Girl Up has given me the tools to take initiative, instead of just being passionate about something.

Girl Up is focused on action. Its members are empowered to generate real, tangible change. They understand that their involvement is meaningful and that their voices are powerful.

Where She Is NowOnce a Teen Advisor, always a Teen Advisor! Let’s take a look at what some of our inspiring Teen Advisors are up to today.

RIYA SINGHI will be graduating in the spring from UC Berkeley with my B.A. in Cognitive Science and a minor in Human Rights. This past summer, I had the opportunity to serve as a counselor at the first-ever WiSci STEAM Camp in Rwanda, where I got to interact with 116 girls whom I would now consider to be my little sisters. Currently, I am doing research for my honors and minor combination thesis focused around the rights of the girl child. In conjunction with the Centre for Girls Education, a Malala Fund supported program that provides mentored learning spaces for adolescent school girls in Northern Nigeria, I am conducting a qualitative study to understand the relationship between social cognitive self-efficacy and academic confidence among these girls. In January, I will be traveling to Northern Nigeria to collect this data and meet these remarkable girls; ultimately, the hope is to use these findings to improve the programs.

After spending a number of years advocating for the rights of girls, I am finally able to combine my passions for and knowledge of cognitive science and human rights to contribute to research that will hopefully benefit girls everywhere. It is an absolute dream come true!

ARCHANA SOMASEGARSince my time as a Teen Advisor, I have been fortunate enough to use the incredible experience to involve myself in the women’s empowerment movement around the globe. In August 2013, I was able to complete the construction of my vocational training center in Madurai, India. The Computer Lab and the Sewing Studio I built was successfully integrated into my vocational training initiative in the Indian Public School system. I have written various articles and blog posts in outlets such as the Huffington Post about the areas of the women’s movement I am most passionate about, am currently planning a conference for collegiate students to allow women to redefine success in today’s world, and was recently honored as the Harvard Women’s Center Woman of the Week.

This past fall, I was selected to represent the United States of America at the G(irls)20 global summit in Turkey to discuss the issue of economic empowerment for women around the globe. I am a current sophomore at Harvard University studying Economics and the Mind, Brain, Behavior track of Neuroscience, and am involved on campus with an A Cappella group, am a member of the Women’s Initiative in Leadership at the Institute of Politics, and serve as the Chief Development Officer for Harvard’s Smart Women Securities an all-female finance group.


KATE MCCOLLUMMy name is Kate McCollum, and I was in the class of 2013-2014 Teen Advisors. I am currently attending Saint Louis University where I am pursuing a degree in Women’s and Gender Studies with concentrations in Foreign Service and Economics. Here at SLU, I was awarded the Presidential Scholarship, and I am active in Greek life, service, and the interfaith alliance, a movement dedicated to promoting dialogue and respect between people of different faith and non-faith backgrounds. Beyond school, I have pursued opportunities to make a difference in my home state, Oklahoma, by participating in NEW Leadership, a program that encourages women to get involved with public service, as well as the Oklahoma Summer Policy Institute, which offers students an opportunity to learn about vital Oklahoma policy issues and careers. I am currently the reading club facilitator for the Girl Up Teen Advisor program, and it has been a great way to stay involved with the campaign and get to know each class of amazing teen advisors!

GLORIA SAMENSince being a Teen Advisor, I’ve come to Wellesley College to study Economics! I’m a current sophomore double majoring in Economics and Africana Studies. Beyond academics, I’m an indoor cycling instructor, a member of the Wellesley College Tupelos a cappella group, Resident Advisor, and the Vice President of Music for Tau Zeta Epsilon, (Wellesley’s Arts and Music Society). At the end of an incredible summer working with Girl Up and emceeing the 4th Annual Leadership Summit, I traveled to Rwanda with Girl Up to serve as a Leadership Development Facilitator at the first ever WiSci STEAM Camp. Inspired by the omnipresence of technology and limitless potential of girls, I’m currently working with a team at MIT to evaluate emerging technologies for electrification in Liberia. I have plans to pursue strategy consulting with a long-term goal of socioeconomic empowerment for women in Africa.

KARINA JOUGLA Originally from Carpinteria, California, I’m now a senior at Columbia University majoring in Comparative Literature in French and Spanish with a focus on human rights. I initially got connected to Girl Up through my involvement with the organization Girls, Inc., and was fortunate to be the recipient of the Girls Inc.’s National Scholarship and Alumni Scholarship. As a Teen Advisor alum (2010-2012), I have remained actively involved with Girl Up by starting the monthly Teen Advisor Reading Club, representing Girl Up everywhere from the G(irls)20 Summit in Moscow to the United Nations, and supporting Girl Up’s Clubs and Coalitions in the Northeast as a Regional Leader.

Throughout my time at Columbia, I have served as a Resident Advisor and worked on an environmentally sustainable investment initiative. I’ve also gained a wide variety of experiences through internships for my Congresswoman Lois Capps, the Convergences World Forum in Paris, and the Clinton Foundation’s No Ceilings gender equality initiative. I’ll be graduating in May 2016, after which I hope to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector to advance gender equality.


Uniting Girls to Change the World

Through our leadership development platform and support of UN programs, Girl Up has

impacted the lives of nearly 40,000 adolescent girls, shaping the leaders of today and tomorrow.

Stand Up, Speak Up, Rise UpWhile Girl Up is true to being “for girls, by girls,” we also have some great adults who are committed to empowering girls around the world. We asked our Celebrity Champions and Girl Up Advisory Council members to tell us why they stand up, speak up, and rise up for girls around the world, and this is what they said...

... I believe that every girl needs to be the catalyst of change not just for themselves but for the world at large! Women are the creators and nurturers of life in its truest sense… where would we all be today if not for them. — Priyanka Chopra

... the world needs to know that no girl stands alone. — Lilia Luciano

... I had women who stood up for me when I could not stand up for myself. — Shaun Robinson

I STAND UP FOR GIRLS BECAUSE…


I USE MY VOICE FOR ALL GIRLS TO…

… tell them how fantastic they are; that they all have the power to shape their lives and be anything they want to be. — Pauline Miller

… empower them to become the leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs they were called to be. — Ingrid Vanderveldt

… have the opportunity to believe that their dreams can come true. — Rita Rodriguez

THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF ALL GIRLS COULD RISE UP…

... because then we finally harness the incredible potential of our whole world. — Akila Somasegar

… because they would help eliminate poverty and bring world peace. — Anu Jain

… and break down any obstacles standing between them and their dreams. — Anjula Acharia-Bath


LEADERSHIP SUMMITGrowing from a one-day summit to unite Girl Up supporters, the annual Girl Up Leadership Summit now brings together hundreds of girls for a multi-day leadership development program followed by an advocacy day on Capitol Hill. In just four years, the Girl Up Leadership Summit has grown to host more than 600 girl leaders, 80 inspiring speakers and 300 congressional meetings.

SCHOOLCYCLEMillions of girls around the world are out of school, and sometimes it’s simply because their schools are too far or dangerous to travel to regularly. In an answer to this challenge, Girl Up launched SchoolCycle, an initiative that provides bikes to girls and helps them go further – geographically and in life. In 2014 and 2015, Girl Up has helped provide bikes and services to hundreds of the hardest to reach girls in Malawi and Guatemala, and we’ve watched them ride away to a brighter future.

A Powerful Movement


#GIRLHEROIn celebration of International Day of the Girl, Girl Up asked, “Who is your #GIRLHERO?,” people around the world answered, and the #GIRLHERO digital phenomenon was born. Girls (and boys), women (and men), celebrities, adults and youth alike (from over 100 countries!) have taken to social media to show the world who their #GIRLHEROES are. They’ve shared countless photos and stories of the women who inspire them – the mothers, sisters, friends, political leaders and change makers they look up to – remindilng us all that #GIRLHEROES are truly shaping our world.

ADVOCACYWhen we raise our voices together, we can make real change for girls. Girl Up’s half a million passionate advocates have reached out to their elected officials on behalf of girls around the world… and Congress and the White House have taken notice.

Girl Up leaders have rallied around two congressional bills – Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Reauthorization and The Girls Count Act – and BOTH were passed. To help create change for girls around the world, Girl Up supporters have taken hundreds of thousands of advocacy actions to have their voices heard. They have delivered thousands of letters to Capitol Hill and made hundreds of phone calls to members of Congress, and have met with their Representatives on Capitol Hill and in their home districts across the U.S.


Girl Up: The Next FiveIn just five years, Girl Up has become a borderless, global movement for change. Yet there is still so much work to be done to fully empower girls around the world.

So what’s in store for the next five years? THE THREE G’s!

We have already seen what happens when half a million supporters join forces with an action-oriented campaign like Girl Up: 40,000 girls around the world are empowered. Over the next five years, we aim to engage at least 1,000,000 supporters, empowering and impacting at least 100,000 girls around the world.

With Girl Up Clubs in 80 countries, our international network of supporters is already booming – just check out our global reach on the next page! Girls all around the world — whether they live in New York, Kabul, or Johannesburg — have the power to make real change, but because of differences in language, advocacy priorities and club structures in schools, it’s not always easy for Girl Up to support our international base the way we support our girls in the U.S. Over the next five years, we want to ensure that Girl Up really is a platform where any girl, anywhere in the world can join the movement, become a leader and can stand up, speak up, and rise up for girls around the world.

The heart of Girl Up has always been be our partnership with the United Nations, and over the next five years, we will continue to make these incredible UN programs our funding priority. As we grow our supporter base and leadership development program in the U.S. and abroad, it’s only right that we also increase our support to our UN partners and the girls they serve. After all, it is our goal to see a world where ALL girls, everywhere, can reach their full potential.
