Feminist mentors are essential to safeguarding girls’ rights to be educated, respected, and heard. At She's the First, our vision is a world where every girl chooses her own future. To reach their goals, girls need a strong support system—and #MentorsMakeItHappen!
For International Women’s Day, we're celebrating the personal champions of girls around the world—join us! Set up a monthly donation in honor of your personal champion. By making a recurring gift, you're providing reliable support we can count on—just like you can count on your mentor.

Advocacy
We, the undersigned girl-centered organizations, express our deep concern and condemnation regarding the alarming rise in femicides in Kenya. We stand in solidarity with our fellow women leaders in Kenya who are demanding that the President of Kenya declare femicide and violence against women and girls a national disaster. The government must take swift and decisive measures to protect lives and ensure justice for the victims.
