International Day of the Girl Child 2024 is observed on October 11 every year as a global event dedicated to raising awareness about the unique challenges girls face worldwide and to promote their empowerment. It is observed to promote awareness about the potential of girls as the future of our society and encourages individuals to become change agents and empower girls.
International Girl Child day was established by the United Nations in 2012. It highlights the need to address crucial issues such as gender inequality, child marriage and limited access to healthcare and education.
The observance aims to highlight and protect the rights of girls, ensuring they have equal opportunities. By focusing on their participation in these crucial areas, the goal is to foster a more inclusive society.
Today’s generation of girls is disproportionately affected by global crises of climate, conflict, poverty and pushback on hard won gains for human rights and gender equality. Too many girls are still denied their rights, restricting their choices and limiting their futures.
According to the UN, approximately one in five girls do not complete lower secondary school. Moreover, nearly four out of ten girls do not finish higher secondary education. The data also indicate that around 90% of adolescent girls and young women in low-income countries do not have access to the Internet.
This information calls for increased focus on listening to girls and investing in proven solutions. The goal is to accelerate progress towards enabling them to reach their full potential. According to the report, this challenge can be addressed by providing girls with what they deserve instead of merely giving them what they want.
The initiative stems from the 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing, where countries adopted the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. This declaration is notable for being the first to specifically address the rights of girls.
The International Day of the Girl Child emphasizes the need to address these challenges and promote girls' empowerment and human rights.
