Global Fund for Women updated the Call for Applications for the Adolescent Girls Advisory Council:

We are now accepting applications from 10-17-year-old girls from the following regions: Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
