Every girl has the right to feel safe at home, in her relationships and in her community.

But too many are living in fear of someone they should be able to trust.

This is a violation of their rights. We must protect girls from all forms of violence. Now.

When a crisis hits, girls don’t just lose their homes or schools.

They lose their safety. Their choices. Their childhoods.

No girl should be forced to marry - not in conflict, not in crisis, not ever.

Every girl has a right to protection and to decide her future. Always. #GirlGoals
