The Girls’ Agenda 2025
October 28 - 30, 2025 | Kenya School of Government, Nairobi
Advancing Adolescent Girls’ Education, Health & Empowerment in East Africa.
Globally, 129 million girls are out of school and one in three women experience gender-based violence—often beginning in adolescence. In East Africa, the numbers are equally stark: 9 million girls are out of school, 35 percent marry before 18, and 65 percent lack access to basic menstrual supplies.
The Girls’ Agenda 2025 convenes regional leaders, practitioners, donors, and—most importantly—adolescent girls themselves to design solutions that close these gaps and unlock new opportunities.
