Week 1 at the HLPF proved what we already know: feminists are leading the way. From community organizing to UN halls, we’re demanding bold, intersectional action on SDG 5. 🚨 Governments must listen. 🤝 Donors must fund us. 📣 Movements must center those at the margins.
🎉Day 5/ When asked how the #WhatGirlsWant program has benefited #AGYW in the Cameroon 🇨🇲 cohort, this is what they have to say; “The what girls want program has been an eye opener to me in the challenges girls face and it has encourage me to speak up”-@FMarvette #WGW
You can’t talk about good health (#SDG3) or gender equality (#SDG5) without CSE. From reducing HIV to preventing gender-based violence, #CSE equips young people with the tools to thrive. #HLPF2025 #WhatGirlsWant #FeministFuturesHIV #GenderEquality #GenderJustice
