A Movement for Equity

At the Annual Alliance for Girls Conference, more than 500 intergenerational leaders and champions of the girls' movement unite their efforts to mobilize and uplift girls*. Through interactive sessions, research, and cutting-edge analysis, we better equip ourselves with effective strategies and action steps to eliminate the systemic barriers facing girls, advocate and create the conditions for their success, and transform systems to realize a future in which every girl thrives. Join us for this critical summit!


*“Girls” refers to gender expansive youth (cis girls, trans girls, non-binary youth, gender non-conforming youth, gender queer youth and any girl-identified youth).
