Every year on October 11, people all around the world celebrate International Day of the Girl Child. This special day is all about girls’ education, their rights, and making sure that boys and girls are treated equally. It reminds everyone to make changes to help girls have a better life.
This year, on October 11, the theme is “Invest in Girls’ Rights: Our Leadership, Our Well-being.” It means we should take action to protect the rights of girls and women and work towards making things fair for everyone.
Back in 1995, leaders from different countries got together and made a plan to improve the lives of women. Then, in 2011, the United Nations decided to make October 11 the International Day of the Girl Child to recognize the rights of girls and the challenges they face.
There are still many challenges. Some girls can’t finish their school, and many don’t have the same opportunities as boys, like using the internet. Girls also spend a lot more time doing housework without pay, and some face serious problems like HIV or violence from their partners. We need to work together to change these things and make the world better for girls.
