Girls Experiencing Migration (GEM)
Guatemala, Mexico, United States
We support a cohort of civil society organizations that are committed to protecting the safety and rights of adolescent migrant girls in Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States.
Our work
We find and invest in community-based organizations and individuals around the world that shift social norms, policies, and practices to foster lasting change for children and youth. Our work spans four regions and is organized into six intersecting thematic areas. Our initiatives include multiple community-based organizations tackling similar issues to maximize the opportunity for peer learning and collective action. We believe that our partners are the experts on their communities, contexts, and the children they serve.
Thematic focus areas
Safety and wellbeing
We are committed to ending violence and exploitation of children, to helping young survivors rebuild their lives, and to protecting the mental health and wellbeing of every child and young person.
