International Girl Child Day is celebrated annually on October 11th to raise awareness of the challenges facing girls around the world and to promote girls’ empowerment. The day was first declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2011, and it has since become a global platform for advocating for girls’ rights.

Girls around the world face a number of challenges, including discrimination, violence, and poverty. These challenges can prevent girls from reaching their full potential. However, girls are also powerful and resilient, and they have the potential to change the world.

On International Girl Child Day, we celebrate the power of girls and their potential to create a better future for all. We also recommit to working to create a world where all girls can thrive.

Here are some of the ways that we can all celebrate International Girl Child Day:
