Gender Equality Strategy 2019-2021

As Save the Children enters its second century of change, we are doing whatever it takes to ensure all children grow up the way they deserve – healthy, educated and safe. If we are to create positive, lasting change for children, we need an ambitious plan for promoting gender equality. Our vision is a world where girls, boys and youth of diverse gender identities are heard, valued and have access to equal opportunities. We believe that all children should be empowered to live their lives, speak their minds and determine their own futures. Placing gender equality at the heart of our work will have a resounding impact on the lives of children and families that we serve, creating positive and sustainable change in their communities across the globe.

This Gender Equality Strategy details how Save the Children US (SCUS) will operationalize the Gender Equality Policy. It sets forth principles and commitments to guide our efforts to promote gender equality within and through SCUS, including guidance on advancing gender equality in our programs and advocacy, and strengthening organizational practices for an equitable, safe and inclusive workplace.
