The World Bank aims to create more awareness, advocacy and action to help girls excel in education and women to thrive in the workplace, through the GLWE 100-day action initiative. The GLWE initiative is a platform, convened by the World Bank, for partners to collaborate and submit their actions on two key priority areas; Girls Education and Women’s Economic Empowerment. The GLWE initiative consists of 7 pillars: getting to school, getting to work, access to quality/salaried jobs, workplace environment, career development, entrepreneurship, and policy level. The Girls Learn, Women Earn initiative invites any organization to take part in the ‘100 days of action’ campaign, with the aim to support more awareness, advocacy and action focused on girls’ education and women’s economic empowerment in Pakistan. Any organization seeking to be involved in the campaign may use the hashtag #GirlsLearnWomenEarn and the GLWE logo.
