Girls from Oz (g-oz) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing educational and employment pathways and the overall wellbeing of girls and young women in remote Australia.

Our programs use the reputable, evidence-based performing arts engagement model as developed by the Australian School of Performing Arts over the past 40 years to engage and re-engage individuals in their schooling.

We are committed to breaking the cycle of disadvantage experienced by First Nations youth in collaboration with them and their communities.

It's International Day of the Girl Child!

Today we recognise the rights of girls worldwide as well as the unique challenges that they face.

This year's theme is 'Girls' vision for the future' ✨

‘Today’s generation of girls is disproportionately affected by global crises of climate, conflict, poverty and pushback on hard won gains for human rights and gender equality...With the right support, resources and opportunities, the potential of the world’s more than 1.1 billion girls is limitless. And when girls lead, the impact is immediate and wide reaching: families, communities and economies are all stronger, our future brighter. 

It is time to listen to girls, to invest in proven solutions that will accelerate progress towards a future in which every girl can fulfil her potential.’ - @unitednations

Let's make this vision a reality!

Give the gift of a brighter future and invest in the next generation of women today.
