Gender equality is an ongoing battle everywhere. The #MeToo and Time’s Up movement remind us that there can be no just world or lasting progress when girls and women are still treated as second- class citizens, with less (and sometimes no) say over their choices, bodies, and ambitions. At Plan, we will not accept such a world. As our campaign states: #GirlsBelongHere, anywhere that boys and men belong. Tessie San Martin Thank you for partnering with us to stand up for girls—and change the world.

The WID approach aimed at “adding” women to development efforts and integrating them into global economies and production, while the GAD approach focuses more on social relations which create gender inequalities (Parpart, Connelly and Barriteau 2000). Today, the attention to gender equality has increased and most development organizations try to, at least officially, integrate it as a perspective in their work (Dogra 2011).
