• October 11th is celebrated as
International Day of the Girl Child.
• It is an international observance day
declared by United Nations.
• It is also known as Day of Girls and
International Day of the Girls
The observation supports more
opportunity for girls and increases
awareness of gender inequality faced by
girls worldwide based upon their gender.
This inequality includes areas such
as access to education, nutrition, legal
rights, medical care etc.
The celebration of the day also "reflects
the successful emergence of girls and
young women as a distinct cohort in
development policy, programming,
campaigning and research
On this International Day of the Girl
Child, let's pledge to provide our girls
a world which is safe, equal, progressive
and full of opportunities
