Day of the Girl-child 2024

#IDG2024: Supporting Girls’ Vision for the Future through Inclusive Education

Every year, on October 11th, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child (IDG), a day dedicated to highlighting the unique challenges girls face in accessing education, empowerment opportunities, and social inclusion. This day serves as a reminder to duty bearers and stakeholders of their crucial roles in supporting girls, enabling them to realise their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society. The theme for the 2024 IDG, “Girls’ Vision for the Future,” brings into focus the importance of empowering girls, not just for their well-being, but as a vital foundation for the peace and development of society.
