On December 19, 2011, United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to
declare October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognize
girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.
Girls face discrimination and violence every day across the world. The
International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the need to address the
challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of
their human rights.
The theme for the 2013 celebration is "Innovating for Girls Education". Follow this link for more information. |
