Who We Are
The Working Group on Girls (WGG) originated in the build-up to the tremendous efforts made in 1995 in the ratification of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action as a global agenda for the empowerment of all women and girls. Under the auspices of UNICEF, the Working Group on Girls emerged as an NGO committee within UNICEF and eventually connected with UN Women to grapple with the special needs of girls – who have their own struggles for equality, education, and the right to be protected from oppression in any form. Section L of the Beijing Platform for Action represents the efforts of WGG original members to improve the status of the Girl Child.
We are committed to promoting gender equality, amplifying the voices of girls, and creating impactful solutions that address the root causes of challenges they encounter. By engaging with diverse stakeholders, we strive to ensure that girls' rights and wellbeing are at the forefront of global priorities.
