OVERVIEW

In July 2018, our humanitarian team participated in a Wilton Park event – co-hosted by WHO, UNFPA, and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation – on “Addressing the Needs of Adolescent Girls in Humanitarian Settings,” which brought together diverse partners to explore policies, programs, and investments that can advance action for adolescent girls in emergencies. Women Deliver contributed to the culminating report from the meeting, which highlights key actions the global community must take to make humanitarian action work for adolescent girls. Our biggest takeaway: adolescent girls and the local organizations that support them are resilient change-makers in humanitarian settings, and must be financed and engaged to unlock their full power and potential.
