On 11 October, the world celebrated the International Day of the Girl. This year’s theme was “Girls’ vision for the future”. The UN published a short blog and a solutions briefing paper.
Solution number 3 – education for all girls.
“Today’s generation of girls is disproportionately affected by global crises of climate, conflict, poverty and pushback on hard won gains for human rights and gender equality. Too many girls are still denied their rights, restricting their choices and limiting their futures. Yet, recent analysis shows that girls are not only courageous in the face of crisis, but hopeful for the future. Every day, they are taking action to realize a vision of a world in which all girls are protected, respected and empowered.”
