Girls Advocacy ALLIANCE Programme
Girls Advocacy ALLIANCE Programme
Project Goal: The main goal of the Girls Adovocacy Alinace (GAA) Programme is to ensure that, by 2020, girls and young women in 10 countries in Asia and Africa will no longer face gender-based violence and economic exclusion. To initiate sustainable changes, the GAA aims to influence key stakeholders in national governments and intergovernmental agencies, the private sector, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and local communities. Moreover, the GAA will strengthen and train girls and young women, as well as their respective organisations, to stand up for their rights.
The Girls Advocacy Alliance is committed to equal rights and opportunities for girls and young women and focuses on: ° ending gender-based violence in the forms of the commercial sexual exploitation of children, sexual violence and abuse, female genital mutilation, child trafficking and child marriage; ° eliminating economic exclusion by promoting access to post-primary education, technical vocational education and training, decent work, and female entrepreneurship. The alliance is applying an advocacy and lobby strategy, shifting between different policy-influencing instruments and approaches (advising, advocacy, lobbying, activism) to push for the implementation of existing legislation and policies on girls’ and young women’s rights by national and local governments. Furthermore, pressure is being put on international and regional bodies to hold member states accountable. Girls Advocacy Alliance - Programme

Improved policies and practices of corporate and private sector actors: market leaders or branch associations of the private sector will be actively engaged in involving girls and young women in education and decent work.
Increased public support and awareness: communities will offer better protection and opportunities to girls and young women. The general public will be made aware of the consequences of gender-based violence against girls and young women and their economic exclusion.
Increased influence of CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations) on government and corporate/private-sector actors: civil society networks and organisations will act as agents of change for gender equality and they will play an active role in engaging and mobilizing communities.
Ensuring equal rights and opportunities for girls and young women is all about changing social norms and practices. Girls’ and young women’s rights will be underscored by laws and policies that are effectively implemented and enforced by those responsible. Girls and young women will be protected and supported by their communities, and by active organisations that speak out against violations and injustice, and hold those in power to account.
