About

Prevention

Protecting girls begins before a crisis. Prevention means helping families and communities recognize girls' value, understand the risks they face, and support their safety and opportunities. That's why prevention is part of IGP's mission. Share this post to help more people learn why protecting girls matters. #seetheinvisiblegirl #girlsrightsarehumanrights #preventfemalegendercide

Every girl deserves the opportunity to grow up safe, receive an education, and build a future filled with possibility. Yet, poverty continues to create barriers that limit girls' access to these opportunities, particularly in communities where girls face discrimination and unequal access to resources. On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Invisible Girl Project reaffirms its commitment to protecting girls and creating pathways for them to thrive. Through rescue, care, child sponsorship, empowerment, and prevention education, we work alongside communities in India to help build a future where every girl is valued and has the opportunity to reach her full potential. Ending poverty means ensuring no girl is left behind in India. #eradicatepoverty #girls #education

What if we could intervene before a girl ever became vulnerable? Prevention Education helps communities examine the beliefs and practices that contribute to discrimination against girls and equips the next generation to think differently. Prevention is a major part of how lasting change begins in the culture. Our team has made big strides over the last several months with our Prevention Education! We have trained families, community leaders, and law enforcement. We cannot wait to carry this momentum into the end of the year! #preventionedication #girls #humanrights #childprotection

There is a question that changes the way we approach problems: "What would it take to prevent this?" Instead of waiting for harm to happen to girls, prevention asks us to look upstream. What beliefs need to be challenged? What information is missing? What support do families need? What opportunities should be available? What conversations aren't happening yet? These questions don't produce instant answers. But they can produce something more lasting: change at the source. At Invisible Girl Project, prevention is central to our work because protecting girls means working toward a world where fewer girls need to be rescued in the first place. #prevention #education #girlsrightsarehumanrights

Today is the day! "On International Day of the Girl, IGP welcomes Anu George Canjanathoppil, as Regional Vice President, South Asia! She is a remarkable leader, trailblazer, and champion for girls. Her passion for justice and bold leadership will help us protect more girls, transform communities, and advance IGP's mission." -JIll McElya, Founder and President With more than two decades of experience in human rights, development, education, and social impact, Anu brings deep leadership experience and a strong commitment to advancing opportunities for communities across South Asia. In her new role, Anu will help lead IGP's regional partnerships, programs, and growth as we enter our next chapter. After 15 years of building IGP's foundation, her leadership marks an important step forward in our mission to protect girls, challenge gender discrimination, and build a future where every girl is valued. Please join us in welcoming Anu to IGP!

“A girl should not need extraordinary courage simply to exist.” -Anu George Canjanathoppil Listen to this conversation between Jill, Founder and President of IGP, and Anu, the Regional Vice President of South Asia for Invisible Girl Project. Jill asked Anu, “How does this work motivate you?” Anu is deeply motivated and passionate about seeing a South Asia free from female gendercide. #girlsrightsarehumanrights #education #transformation

When a girl is rescued from an unsafe situation, our involvement doesn't end there. Safety is the first step in her rescue. From there comes care, stability, education, and the opportunity to begin building a future beyond the circumstances that put her at risk. You can learn more on our website: invisiblegirlproject.org or reach out to us! We would love to meet you! #seetheinvisiblegirl #education #girls

Happy Friday from all of us at Invisible Girl Project! This week, we're grateful for everyone who believes every girl deserves to be protected and valued. If that's you, join us. Your gift today helps girls in India and the mothers who fight for them. Check out the link in our bio to stand FOR HER. 💛 #girls #ForHer #education

On Anti-Slavery Day, we're reminded that the fight for freedom and dignity is far from over. In India, gender discrimination, poverty, and harmful social norms can leave girls vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking. Every girl deserves to grow up safe, access an education, and have the opportunity to shape her own future. At Invisible Girl Project, we work alongside communities to protect girls, equip families, and challenge the deeply rooted attitudes that put girls at risk. Together, we can help create a future where all girls are valued, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive. Your support helps make this work possible. Join us in standing up for girls and advancing a future where every girl has the chance to live free from exploitation. #endhumantrafficking #endchildmarriage #girls #family

Stay tuned for BIG things coming to Invisible Girl Project!

Do you want to change a girl's life this weekend? Child sponsorship is more than a monthly contribution. It is an investment in a child's education, care, health, and future. Through sponsorship, supporters help provide vulnerable children with consistent resources and opportunities as they grow. Checkout the link in our bio to learn about how you can transform a girl's life. #childsponsorship #education #girls #india

All girls deserve to grow up knowing that their lives matter. Girls deserve safety, the opportunity to learn, and encouragement to imagine their futures. At Invisible Girl Project, our work with girls in India begins with that belief. New to IGP? Follow along to learn about our mission and the people behind it. 💗 #seetheinvisiblegirl #education #support

We're beginning November with gratitude for the community that stands with our girls. To our donors, sponsors, volunteers, advocates, team, and partners: thank you for the care and commitment you bring to IGP. Throughout this month, we'll share more about our mission and celebrate the people who help carry it forward. We're grateful you're here. 💗 #thanksgiving #gratitude #joy

When a whole room chooses to value girls, we celebrate! 🙌 Our partners recently hosted a community conversation on gender equality in one eastern state. The entire room of fathers and mothers, side by side, ended the day with a pledge to treat their daughters as equals. We couldn't be more excited by this progress! #hope #valuegirls #education #givejoy

What does peace look like for a girl? It looks like going to school without fear. It looks like being safe in her own home. It looks like growing up without being forced into marriage. It looks like knowing her life has value. On the International Day of Peace, we're reminded that peace is more than the absence of conflict. Peace is the presence of safety, dignity, justice, and the freedom to build a future. For girls in India facing violence, discrimination, and exploitation, that kind of peace is still out of reach. We believe every girl deserves to know what it feels like to be safe. #internationaldayofpeace #girls #education

Happy Diwali from Invisible Girl Project! Diwali celebrates light overcoming darkness, and every girl who is wanted, protected, and given the chance to grow is a light in her family and her community. This season, we're grateful for the families who welcomed their daughters, our partners on the ground who stand beside them, and every one of you who makes this work possible. If you'd like to celebrate the Festival of Lights by helping another girl shine, you can give on the link in our bio. Every gift helps a girl be seen, valued, and cared for. From our family to yours, may your Diwali be full of light, love, and the joy of daughters. ✨ #seetheinvisiblegirl #education #light

"I never knew there was a way to stop it," a student said after our team taught 9th and 10th grade boys about female gendercide. Our team spoke about the value of girls during one Awareness and Prevention session. The boys had great questions and were engaged with the lesson. We are so excited to continue reaching the next generation, and seeing transformation happen among youth! #education #boys #seetheinvisiblegirl
