Imagine a girl living in a war zone. Her future is out of her control. She can't go to school, she can't read or write, or count to ten. Instead, she has to work to help support her family. She has seen things no child should see. Every day, she faces the threat of sexual violence and early forced marriage.
What if this can change?
What if you could help her go to school where she'll be safe? Where the education she receives will be the way to a future free from war—a future where she can dream of becoming whatever she wants to be.
And what if her mother could be trained to start a business? She'd earn an income and put food on the table. She'd create jobs for women like her in the community. She'd make decisions that would keep her family safe. What if both could count on their rights being respected?
They would have the confidence to speak out for their future and for the rights of women and girls everywhere. They would work tirelessly for peace in their communities. What if all this could come true? It can. War Child does it every day.
To us, 125,000,000 girls in war zones just means 125,000,000 solutions. That's why War Child invests in women and girls and puts them at the centre of everything we do. We've helped tens of thousands of girls finish school. We've rebuilt their schools and trained their teachers. We've empowered mothers the world over to set up businesses and defended them against ongoing violence and abuse. We've educated fathers and brothers about the power of women's rights so the rights of their wives, sisters, and daughters are never undermined.
There are no "what ifs". The future IS female. It's already happening. And now, it's your turn to give voice to women and girls in the most fragile communities in the world.
