“My voice, our equal future”
On International Day of the Girl Child, 11 October, amplify the voices and rights of girls everywhere.
The theme for this year, “My voice, our equal future”, reimagines a better world inspired and led by adolescent girls, as part of the global Generation Equality movement.
This year, the Day of the Girl Child is also significant as the ‘Generation Equality’ campaign has been launched. It is a “multi-year, multi-partner campaign and movement for bold action on gender equality”.
In a pandemic year, a clear agenda and multi-pronged approach are essential to look after the needs and opportunities of adolescent girls.
“Support girls. Listen to girls. Help girls realize their dreams,” Henrietta H. Fore, the executive director of UNICEF said in a tweet today.
International Day of the Girl Child has been marked since the year 2012. Girls all over the world face a lot of social issues solely based on their gender.
This includes no access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care. They also face violence and forced child marriage. So this day is a movement that aims at “Save The Girl Child”.
