Our ambition is to empower at least 3 million girls and young women to learn necessary skills for work, lead action on issues that matter to them, decide about their own lives and bodies, and thrive in environments that protect them from violence. To achieve this, we are dedicated to identifying and removing barriers that hinder children, particularly girls and young women, from enjoying their rights and fully participating in Indonesian society. Our strategy includes implementing high-quality programs and projects, as well as influencing decision-makers and key stakeholders to foster necessary changes.
