Humanitarian and development responses are failing to address the needs of adolescent girls. They are failing to ensure girls have the knowledge, skills and resources to survive the impact of an emergency. They are also failing to provide for their needs when exposed to greater risks in the aftermath of disasters.

Now is the time to focus on adolescent girls and redress a major gap in humanitarian and development programming. Evidence demonstrates that girls whose needs are catered for can go on to be leaders for response and recovery within their communities. Girls whose needs are not considered face consequences that may affect them for the rest of their lives.
