Girls Count

Girls Count is an initiative aimed at ensuring girls and young women have official identification documents, such as birth certificates and IDs. These documents are essential for accessing education, healthcare, legal rights, and economic opportunities. Without proper identification, girls can face discrimination, exclusion, or even dangers like child marriage or trafficking. By improving access to reliable ID systems, Girls Count helps empower girls, promotes gender equality, and supports their full participation in society. The program often works with governments and communities to strengthen registration processes and awareness, ensuring every girl’s identity is recognized and protected.
