About Breakthrough :

Breakthrough works on culture change by shifting social norms that limit women and girls from

reaching their full potential. We work with adolescents and young people aged 11-24 years aiming

for an entire generation to shift and push for change.

Over the last 25 years, we have reached nearly 2.3 million adolescents in schools and communities. With more agency, better negotiation skills and aspiration, young people are calling

out norms that hold them back and taking action, in the communities that Breakthrough works in.

This gives hope that a more equal world is possible for future generations.
