October 11 - International Girl's Day
International Girl's Day is celebrated every year on October 11. It is a day dedicated to promoting gender equality and empowering girls around the world. The day aims to raise awareness of the challenges girls face, including discrimination, violence, limited access to education and healthcare.
The International Day of the Girl Child was established by the United Nations in 2011 to recognize and protect the rights of girls and to empower them. It is a reminder that girls have the potential to make a significant contribution to society if given equal opportunities.
The International Day of the Girl Child emphasizes that investing in the empowerment of girls is essential not only for their individual development, but also for achieving the global sustainable development goals.
