No More Excuses: Accountability Mechanisms for Girls and Young Women

Adolescent girls represent one of the most marginalized demographic groups globally. Their unique needs often get overlooked in both child-rights, and women’s-rights conversations, and their voices go unheard in decisions on policy, climate, health, and beyond. Accountability for adolescent-focused commitments is not guaranteed – global processes such as Generation Equality lack adolescent-led accountability mechanism.

This session, facilitated by young people, showcases approaches to achieving accountability for adolescent girls and young women in all their diversity. We will hear from diverse stakeholders on challenges, solutions, and commitments which advance power being shifted to adolescent girls – nothing about them, without them.
