International Day of the Girl Child 11 October

The theme for International Day of the Girl Child is ‘Educated Girls. Empowered Futures’. Education remains one of the most effective ways to break cycles of inequality. When girls have access to quality education, they gain the tools to shape their own lives and influence their communities. On the International Day of the Girl, we can focus on our work supporting girls’ education and empowerment, and on advocating for equal access to learning opportunities worldwide. Key message Educating girls empowers the next generation of women leaders.
