This day aims to highlight and address the needs and challenges girls’ face, while promoting girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights. This year, under the theme “Our time is now- Our rights, our future.

Girls are ready for a decade of acceleration forward. It is time for us all to stand accountable- with and for girls – and to invest in a future that believes in their agency, leadership and potential. Girls are leaders. Girls are change-makers. Girls are driving good and growth around the world.
