The UN General Assembly’s decision to institute 11th October as the International Day of the Girl marks the international community’s political will to promote girls’ rights by highlighting the violations, inequalities, discrimination and exclusion they are suffering across the world.
As part of their project to stop violence against girls and empowering girls through education, ActionAid joined the movement and carried out various activities around the world in a number of country programmes. Please read the Education Networks newsletter for more information on ActionAid’s involvement in this fantastic event.
