Passionists International Statement

Passionists International has been a proud and active member of WGG since its formation. We support the full human rights, dignity, and agency of every girl everywhere: the right to live into and develop their full potential without discrimination, harassment, or violence in any form, and the right to participate in decision-making about issues that affect her in all spheres, personally, locally and globally.

“Being a girl is strength in itself. Many don’t know, or choose to overlook, the battles that girls go through every day to achieve what they deserve, whether it be education, work, or simply respect.” – Sarah,  age 18, In Strong Is the New Pretty, by Kate T. Parker (2017)

“International Day of the Girl is a celebration of the power that young women have to not only change their lives but to also change our world.” – Michelle Obama, Former US First Lady, and Founder of Girls Opportunity Alliance, 2022.

School Sisters of Notre Dame Statement
