Day Of The Girl

Raising awareness of issues facing girls internationally, such as education, nutrition, forced child marriage, legal rights, and medical rights

October 11. 2024

On International Day of the Girl, we recognize that when every girl around the world has the opportunity to realize her potential, the possibilities for our future are limitless.

Girls are dreamers and doers leading our world forward — growing up to become changemakers, innovators, entrepreneurs, service members, activists, public servants, and so much more. When we empower girls and ensure they have the resources they need to thrive, countries and economies are stronger, and the entire world is more secure. Yet in far too many places, girls are still being denied equal opportunity, prohibited from contributing to their communities and deprived of the freedom to pursue their dreams without violence and intimidation.
