She’s the First is a global girls’ rights organization that fights for a world where every girl can choose her own future. They team up with grassroots leaders to make sure girls everywhere are educated, respected and heard. Over the past 13 years, they’ve created transformational outcomes for 226,500 girls by working alongside 285 community organizations in 42 countries.
