Full Force campaign | Malala Fund
Girls have the power to boost economies, create jobs, make communities safer and drive industry. But almost one billion girls and young women are unprepared for jobs in the modern workforce.
Our team at Malala Fund ran a 10-month long global campaign called “Full Force: the world works better when goes go to school.” The goal was to pressure key world leaders to pledge funding for girls’ education and promote STEM learning. To do this, we made the economic case for girls’ education and invited supporters to take tangible actions to help girls.
