1. Empower teen girls and enhance their leadership skills to become decision-makers, active civic participants and advocates for their futures; and 2. Mobilize, lobby, and advocate for teen girl rights with community stakeholders against repressive customs and ideologies that prohibit girls’ educational development/future success.

Resume
Vores projekts overordnede mål er at bidrage til forbedring af teenagepigers rettigheder og muligheder for at påvirke diskriminerende praksis mod piger og unge kvinder, såsom seksuel chikane, skolefrafald og tvunget og tidligt ægteskab. Vi vil arbejde mod dette via to mål: 1. Styrke teenagepiger ved at forbedre deres lederegenskaber, så de kan blive beslutningstagere, aktive politiske deltagere og fortalere for deres fremtid. 2. I samarbejde med en bred platform af interessenter vil vi mobilisere, lobby og advokere for teenagepigers rettigheder og kæmpe mod undertrykkende skikke og ideologier, der forhindrer pigers uddannelsesmuligheder og fremtidig succes.
