Thank you so much for opening your doors for the girls. Being at the front line of decision making is all that girls want. #IDG2026 #ChangeHerForeCast

#ChangeHerForecast. Thank You Hon.Minister for your warm hospitality and opening up your door for the girl child.

A girl’s future should never be defined by the barriers placed in her way. This October, @PlanUganda joins the #ChangeHERForecast campaign to amplify the voices, leadership and agency of girls who are challenging expectations, influencing decisions and creating new possibilities for themselves and others. At our launch of the #StateofTheWorldsGirlsReport decision makers in Uganda joined us from different government ministries with @MercyLakiskis the state minister for youth and children affairs leading the launch and a team of girl representatives from different parts of the country. Girls are not just want to be raising voices of the challenges they face but having them at the front line of decision making is what girls want. #IDG2026 #ChangeHerForeCast #GirlsTakeOver – at Kampala, Uganda

As we await the grand winners, one thing remains clear: every child has potential, and every child deserves the opportunity to showcase it.

🌍 Change Her Forecast: Invest in Her Future. This evening, Esther, a girl-child advocate from Lira, Uganda, stepped into the role of State Minister for Youth and Children Affairs in a symbolic #GirlsTakeover at the @Mglsd_UG, shadowing Dr.@MercyLakiskis. Through her advocacy, Esther highlighted how climate change is affecting the everyday lives of girls across Uganda, particularly in remote communities where climate-related hardships are deepening existing inequalities and increase vulnerability to harmful practices, including child marriage. "Climate change is not just an environmental issue, it is also a girls’ rights issue". When climate shocks disrupt livelihoods, education and household stability, girls must not be left to bear the greatest burden. Girls must be heard, protected and empowered to shape the decisions that affect their futures. Changing her forecast means investing in her rights, strengthening her resilience and ensuring every girl has the opportunity to learn, lead and thrive. When girls lead, the future can change. 💙 #DayOfTheGirl #ChangeHerForecast #GirlsTakeover #GirlsRights #ClimateJustice #PlanInternationalUganda #UntilWeAreAllEqual
