Plan International’s campaign ‘Because I am a Girl’ addresses the challenges of gender inequality, child marriage, teenage pregnancy and violence against girls. The campaign worked hard to change both communities’ perceptions and the legal framework to help protect and empower girls.
Traveling with Trish Haplin, Editor-in-Chief of Marie Claire magazine and her teenage daughter, we illustrated the stories of incredible women and girls who have overcome some of these challenges themselves and are fighting hard for lasting and impactful change for women and girls in Ghana.
