We must speed up change for girls.
Estimates say it will take 131 years to achieve gender equality.*
That’s five more generations of girls facing an unequal world. Girls who are bursting with talent, ideas, and strength.
We say no way. Girls can’t wait that long for gender equality. None of us can. We need progress now. And together with girls, we are showing that change is possible. When we stand together, we can demand more, demand better.
Together we can Beat the Clock
Let's start now.
Why this matters
“It will take 131 years to achieve gender equality. People need to know about this,” says 12-year-old Alana from Brazil.
At the current rate of progress, generations of girls will be unable to access their rights. Unable go to school, finish school, feel safe and be in control of their own bodies. Held back by outdated stereotypes and unfair expectations. They will not have equal opportunities to reach their potential and choose their own futures.
Change isn't coming fast enough, and girls like Alana have had enough.
“We need to change the current situation and strive for gender equality. It will be difficult but we have to keep our heads.”
