Investing in Gender Equality
By following a feminist development model, the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents has accelerated progress toward gender parity. An increase in funding for the GFF would lead to more programs and policies that empower women and girls to make autonomous decisions about their own bodies and their lives.

BERLIN/LILONGWE – Despite coming from vastly different beginnings – one of us comes from a fishing district in Malawi with one of the country’s highest adolescent pregnancy rates, the other grew up in West Germany during the height of the women’s movement – we have both seen the transformative impact of empowering women and girls. What also unites us is the same sense of urgency for more to be done – faster and at a bigger scale.
