When girls are empowered, there are ripple effects throughout her community. Take Akhimoni, who is learning skills like karate through Gender Equality Movement in Schools (GEMS) sessions. As a result she's challenging stigma and harassment and building new skills to take more control of her well-being.Skills like these are particularly important for girls going through puberty. She also participates in Joint Action for Nutrition Outcomes (JANO) —another program helping girls to grow up strong and healthy. Hoping to become a doctor when she is older, Akhimoni says the skills she is learning now will help her overcome future challenges. Your support is helping girls like Akhimoni to succeed, thrive and fight against the many ways gender inequality holds them back. #genderequality #genderequity #girlsrights #karate #bangladesh #untilweareallequal #girlsinSTEM #dreambig
