Peter Kuperman founded and serves as CEO of Hatch Canada, a company focused on teaching children the skill of coding. A former volunteer with Khan Academy and member of Full Circle Fund, Peter Kuperman currently supports such charitable efforts as Plan International’s Because I Am a Girl campaign.
Because I Am a Girl is based on the belief that all girls have the right to lead, learn, decide, and thrive in society. Recently, Plan International joined with such groups as the International Women’s Health Coalition, the ONE Campaign, and KPMG to better serve girls and women around the world.
The joint initiative seeks to accomplish the goals laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), or Global Goals. Through the initiative, the participating organizations will have access to qualitative and quantitative data that will allow for better monitoring of the progress of achieving equality for girls and women. Agreed upon in 2015 at the United Nations, the goals will be implemented over the next 15 years.
In many countries, data about how girls and women are treated is incomplete or nonexistent. With access to improved data, the initiative will have the ability to uncover “invisible” girls and hold governments more accountable for promises they make regarding increased rights and opportunities for women.
