International Day of the Girl Child 2021
11 October
Since 2012, 11 October has been marked as the International Day of the Girl.
On December 19, 2011, United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to declare October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.
The International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.
Adolescent girls have the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life, not only during these critical formative years, but also as they mature into women. If effectively supported during the adolescent years, girls have the potential to change the world – both as the empowered girls of today and as tomorrow’s workers, mothers, entrepreneurs, mentors, household heads, and political leaders. An investment in realising the power of adolescent girls upholds their rights today and promises a more equitable and prosperous future, one in which half of humanity is an equal partner in solving the problems of climate change, political conflict, economic growth, disease prevention, and global sustainability.

Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
This article on the International Day of the Girl Child is eye-opening! It’s great to see the focus on girls’ rights. I wonder how we can ensure every girl gets the support she needs to reach her potential?
This article on the International Day of the Girl Child is eye-opening! It’s great to see the UN recognizing girls’ rights. As a parent, I’m reminded how crucial it is to support my daughter’s dreams. It makes me wonder, what are some small ways we can all start empowering girls in our own communities?
