Project Officer - Girls Football 3.0

Project Background

We work to advance children's rights and promote equality for girls around the world. As an independent development and humanitarian organization, we partner with children, young people, communities, and supporters to address the root causes of the challenges facing girls and vulnerable children. For over 80 years, we have been working in more than 75 countries to create lasting change in policies, practices, and communities.

In East Nusa Tenggara, one of Indonesia's poorest provinces, more than 200 cases of violence against women and children were reported in 2023. High poverty, limited awareness of child protection, and low understanding of sexual and reproductive health contribute to gender-based discrimination and violence, particularly against adolescent girls. Social norms often prioritize boys education and opportunities, while girls are expected to take on domestic roles or marry early, limiting their potential.

The Girls Football 3.0 Project aims to empower girls by strengthening their leadership and confidence through equal access to football, while promoting gender equality and raising awareness among students, teachers, and communities.
