Areas of Action
Justice for Girls' primary areas of action include criminal justice monitoring; advocacy and outreach for girls; education; and promoting girls' human rights, including the right to housing and an adequate standard of living, right to education, and the right to a healthy environment. We work in these areas with attention to gaps between standards set out in international human rights law, domestic equality and human rights protections, and the reality of young women's lived experiences of inequality, violence and discrimination.
We promote laws and policies that ensure young women's rights to safety, dignity, and equality. At the same time, we challenge laws and policies that violate girls' rights or liberties.
