I’ve just finished designing an invitation flyer for Plan UK’s upcoming Youth Action Festival (w/S.T.A.D). They’ve invited me to come in next week and coach some of their young people on their presentation skills. 

Every girl has the right to #LearnWithoutFear! Plan’s Because I am a Girl campaign works with girls, with their communities, and with their governments, to implement programmes across the world that help to ensure girls can access a quality, safe education. 

I’m honoured to be supporting the great work they are doing and looking forward to the Youth Action Festival day. Click here to join their campaign. 

“For millions of girls around the world, the right to a good quality education and to a life free from violence is being denied. The shooting of Malala Yousafzai and abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls in Nigeria are extreme examples of an everyday scandal: school should be a safe place for girls to learn and grow, but for millions of girls worldwide, the opposite is true.

Violence at school affects boys too. But the types of violence suffered by girls – especially sexual violence – and the different stereotypes attached to boys and girls mean girls are more likely to see their life opportunities diminished as a consequence of violence in school. Worldwide, 62 million girls don’t go to school – violence is one of the reasons why . The benefits of an education are invaluable to a girl’s life – education can help to build self-esteem, to enable girls to become economically productive and independent, and to become empowered and take control of their lives. In order to break the cycle of poverty and inequality in the world, we need to ensure that every girl has the right to learn without fear.”
