Our North Star

Emerge works with girls who have survived abuse, exploitation, and extreme childhood trauma and have had the courage to speak out, stand up for their beliefs, and protect others. Our programmes support teens in healing, stepping into their power, and living self-determined lives. By giving these brave young women the skills and resources needed to enact their own visions of change, we are mobilising a generation of girls who will end violence in their sphere of influence.

With your help, we invest in courageous girls and are creating a world where justice and healing come first.​
