Girls' Empowerment

Empowering young girls is key to achieving gender equality.

Good Neighbours Canada is taking significant steps to support women and girls internationally to achieve agency and reach their full potential, despite various social and economic barriers.  

Better Life for Girls

Safe Spaces

Provide spaces for girls to grow and have their voices be heard

Skills Training

Bridge the gender gap through essential skills training and workshops

In many parts of the world, young girls are being marginalized for their gender, and this disproportionately impacts. They are excluded from activities and are not given the same opportunities, making them more vulnerable to poverty and crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the social and economic status of women and girls globally. 

Good Neighbours Canada is taking significant steps to support women and girls internationally to achieve agency and reach their full potential, despite various social and economic barriers. Our projects give women and girls the necessary tools and networks for a better, more sustainable future.
