International Day of the Girl Child

International Day of the Girl Child highlights the gender inequality girls experience globally. Created by the United Nations, this day raises the awareness of the gender divide experienced by women in workplaces, digital spaces and society. The UN recommends getting involved by sharing stories, blogs and videos of personal stories as well as making commitments towards addressing the gender gap in everyday life, towards a more sustainable future.

Event Suggestions:
• Create a display celebrating girls’ leadership, education, and rights
• Discuss barriers girls face in school, work, technology, and safety
• Share stories of girls and women creating change in their communities
