Plan International - Perú: Advancing Children's Rights and Equality for Girls

Plan International is a global organization that has been working tirelessly to advance children's rights and equality for girls in more than 75 countries. The organization was founded in 1937, and since then, it has been committed to creating a world where all children can live happy, healthy lives free from poverty, violence, and injustice.

In Peru, Plan International has been working since 1994 to improve the lives of children and young people. The organization works with communities across the country to provide access to education, healthcare services, clean water and sanitation facilities. Plan International also works with local partners to promote child protection measures that prevent violence against children.

One of the key areas of focus for Plan International - Perú is promoting gender equality. The organization recognizes that girls are often marginalized in society due to their gender. They face discrimination at home, school or work which limits their opportunities for growth and development.

To address this issue head-on, Plan International - Perú runs programs aimed at empowering girls by providing them with education opportunities as well as leadership training. These programs help girls develop self-confidence so they can take on leadership roles within their communities.

Another area of focus for Plan International - Perú is disaster risk reduction (DRR). Peru is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods which can have devastating effects on communities especially those living in poverty-stricken areas. To mitigate these risks effectively requires a comprehensive approach involving community participation.

Plan international-Peru works closely with local authorities and community members through its DRR program which aims at building resilience among vulnerable populations by providing them with knowledge about disaster preparedness measures such as evacuation plans or early warning systems.

The organization also provides support during emergencies by distributing relief items like food supplies or shelter materials when needed most urgently after disasters strike.

In addition to its core programs focused on child protection measures including gender equality promotion initiatives or DRR activities mentioned above; Plan international-Peru also runs campaigns aimed at raising awareness about issues affecting children such as child labor exploitation or sexual abuse prevention efforts among others.

Overall plan international-Peru plays an important role in advancing children's rights while promoting gender equality across the country through various initiatives aimed at improving access to education opportunities; health care services; clean water supply systems; disaster risk reduction strategies among other interventions designed specifically towards addressing challenges faced by vulnerable populations including women/girls who are often marginalized due solely based on their gender identity alone!
