International Day of the Girl

Take Action and Celebrate the Power of Girls Everywhere

Every year on October 11, the global community comes together to celebrate International Day of the Girl.

It’s the day when you can recognize the power of girls everywhere—and highlight, discuss, and take action to advance the rights of, and opportunities for, girls across the globe.

Every girl has the power to realize her potential. But it’s important to amplify girls’ voices and advocate for their inclusion in changemaking spaces. By supporting and investing in girls, you can make the world a better place.
