Millions of girls around the world are being denied their basic rights to education, health, nutrition, and safety.
Despite the incredible achievements of our Aussie Women athletes, on and off the field, there are still millions of girls around the world who are facing discrimination and obstacles that are impacting their futures.
Even before a girl is born, gender inequalities shape their lives, becoming even more pronounced in the teenage years, where many girls are unable to complete secondary school due to child and early marriage, pregnancy, unpaid domestic work, and lack of access to safety.
By donating to UNICEF Australia, you’re giving girls around the world a chance to play, learn and lead with confidence and without limits.
