For nearly two years, the Learning and Action Alliance for Girls´Agency (LAAGA) has been exploring - with girls and their communities - what agency looks like for marginalized girls in diverse contexts in Africa and Asia (and soon to come America). Over the past few months, we've been engaging with diverse actors in local communities in Kenya, Bangladesh and Vietnam (and soon in Uganda and Zimbabwe) in rich dialogues centered on the initial results from this research. Please check out this blog by my colleagues kazi nasrin siddiqa and Atenea Rosado-Viurques for more on what we're learning in Bangladesh - https://lnkd.in/gTZUatUC And find more on LAAGA here: https://lnkd.in/erTDxYGQ
