Join Us at Plan International Bangladesh: Lead the Change

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

Plan International Bangladesh envisions a 2030 where children and youth, particularly girls and young women, are recognized as leaders of change in gender norms and can make decisions about their lives. Our country strategy, launched in July 2020, focuses on empowering girls and young women to be heard, live without fear of violence, and achieve their rights. Our significant achievements to date include gender-transformative actions, humanitarian response to the Rohingya crisis and natural disasters, climate and disaster resilience, building our evidence base, and effective advocacy from local to international levels, as well as evolving our partnership approach.
