This Sunday, October 11, is the International #DayoftheGirl, the annual United Nations Day designated to focus on and celebrate EVERY Girl while promoting gender equity, amplifying girls’ voices, and advocating for girls’ rights. This year’s theme, “My voice, our equal future,” is a call to inspire, empower, and educate ALL girls. Throughout the globe girls are denied access to education, safety, proper health care and opportunity simply because they are girls. No girl should be stopped or have any obstacles on her path to pursue her chance to follow her dreams and reach her potential. According to Girls Opportunity Alliance more than 98 million adolescent girls are not in school. When we deny girls access to education we derail the future of the planet-that is not an overstatement. We know that when girls are educated it swings open the doors of opportunity and change will happen not just for them but for their communities, their families and the world!. At This Girl Can! we celebrate EVERY Girl EVERY Day because we know!
That This Girl Can! Change the World…and She Will!
Join Us in celebrating #DayoftheGirl Share Your voice, help to empower every girl to reach for the stars!
