October 11

Established by the United Nations in 2011, the International Day of the Girl Child is observed on October 11th every year. It focuses on addressing the challenges girls face and promoting girls' empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights. Annual themes cover issues such as education, health, prevention of violence, and digital rights. The day advocates for equal opportunities and examines how gender inequality affects girls everywhere. Governments, NGOs, and communities organize events to raise awareness and drive policy changes. The observance has inspired global campaigns and programs that benefit millions of girls by spotlighting critical issues and solutions.
