LET’S ORGANIZE 'A GLOBAL TAKE OVER PROGRAM' TO WELCOME THE CELEBRATION OF WORLD GIRLS DAY
October 11, 2024 is International Day of the Girl, a day dedicated to celebrating the voices and power of girls, championing their rights worldwide, and reflecting on the challenges they continue to face because of their gender.
Canada led the international effort to establish this day in order to draw attention to the persistent inequalities and dangers that too many girls face around the world. The United Nations subsequently adopted a resolution to formally recognize this important date.
Across Canada and around the world, girls are making an impact and creating positive change in their communities and the world. Canada lights up key buildings in cities across the country to celebrate the International Day of the Girl! Let’s light up the world for the girl child!
Let’s celebrate girl leaders and activists who are transforming the world on the International Day of the Girl 2024!
