International Day of the Girl Child, also called Day of the Girl, declared by the United Nations in 2012 is observed on October 11. The special day is celebrated for all the daughters in the wake of gender inequality that exists in our society.
The theme of this year's International Day of Girl Child is "EmPOWER girls: emergency response and resilience planning" to promote the protection of girls from conflict and violence as well as to strengthen their resilience.
"No society will flourish and no peace agreement will be lasting without empowering girls in peacebuilding and reconstruction. It is time to put this imperative at the heart of all of our efforts in addressing fragility, conflict and violence. This is UNESCO's message today," says Irina Bokova, Director General of the UNESCO.
Even these days, girls are not given the right access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, and are often discriminated. Violence against women and child marriage also exists in our society that proves how challenging it is to live as a girl.
The main focus of Day of the Girl is to pay special attention to the challenges faced by them and to promote empowerment and fulfilment of their human rights.
