Adolescent girls in crisis: Voices from South Sudan

This report explores how adolescent girls are impacted by the crisis in South Sudan, amplifies their voices and perceptions of the crisis, and presents their views on how the humanitarian sector might respond.

Amplifying the voices of adolescent girls in South Sudan and presenting their opinions on how the humanitarian sector should respond to the crisis.

Now half a decade long, the conflict in South Sudan has displaced four million people and placed seven million in need of humanitarian assistance. While all civilians face multiple forms of insecurity, adolescent girls are affected by this protracted crisis in ways that are different both from adolescent boys and from adult women, and in ways that are often overlooked.

Voices from South Sudan explores how adolescent girls within two age brackets (aged 10-14 and 15-19) understand the unique impact the crisis has upon them. It seeks to amplify their voices and perceptions of the crisis, and presents their views on how the humanitarian sector might respond.

The state of the World’s Girls 2016

‘Counting the Invisible’ explores the current state of gender data and exposes the gaps.

Counting the Invisible

Millions of girls are ‘invisible’ to governments and policy makers because vital data is not being recorded about their lives.

‘Counting the Invisible’ explores the current state of gender data and exposes the gaps: we don’t count how many girls leave school because of early marriage, pregnancy or violence, exactly how many give birth before they turn 15, how many hours a day they spend working, what kind of work they do and whether they get paid for it.

The new report from Plan International reveals how improving the information we have about girls will help create a just world and equality for all.

Lasting Impact: Evaluating Ten Years of Advancing Women’s Leadership

Plan International USA evaluates the effectiveness of its Global Women in Management (GWIM) program.

Evaluating 10 Years of Advancing Women’s Leadership.

For over a decade, the ExxonMobil Foundation’s Women’s Economic Opportunity Initiative (WEOI) – a global effort to help women in developing countries fulfill their economic potential and serve as drivers of economic and social change in their communities—has invested in Plan International USA’s Global Women in Management (GWIM) program.

To measure the long-term effects of the GWIM program, Plan administered a mixed-methods evaluation (online survey of program alumni from the past ten years; focus group discussions with alumni and in-depth interviews with alumni and their supervisors). Though the online survey data are self-reported, this evaluation also triangulated findings from other program documents, including the six-month followon survey conducted after each GWIM workshop as well as other evaluation reports. Combined, these data provide essential information for not only assessing program outcomes, but also for improving future program design and implementation.

How will adolescent girls’ rights be protected, and what can and should we do to promote gender justice?
