Summary: Established in 1993, the NGO
Working Groups on Girls (WGGs) are
two NGOs associated with UNICEF
and the NGO Committee on the
Status of Women. Comprising more
than 80 organisations working at the
grassroots level, the working groups
have joined together to continue
their work for the rights and future of
girls. WGGs activities support three principal objectives:
* To build an international network of grassroots NGOs that
advocate for girls' rights;
* To promote the active participation of girls as agents of change
in their own lives, families, communities and societies;
* To urge governments to honor their commitments to girls.
