This year, on the International Day of the Girl Child, the focus is on how to ‘EmPOWER Girls: Before, during and after crises’.
According to the UN Women Statement today, Displaced and vulnerable women and girls face higher risks of sexual and gender-based violence, as well as damage to their livelihoods; girls are 2.5 times more likely than boys to miss school during disasters; and displaced girls are often married off as children in an effort to ensure their security. UN women are also are working to ensure that girls experiencing crises have positive options that allow them to grow and develop social and economic skills.
Happy International Day of the Girl Child, we are committed to educating girls in school and also in training them to empower their own futures Every girl alive has the right to decide what positive trajectory their lives take. #dayofthegirl
Help us EDUCATE! There are 1.1 billion girls in the world, and every one of them deserves equal opportunities for a better future!
