Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization committed to promoting children’s rights and gender equality for girls. We believe in the inherent potential of every child, yet recognize that this potential is often hindered by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination—especially for girls. We work closely with key African human rights bodies, including the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights, to enhance and safeguard children’s rights across Africa.
