Me and my friends of over 35years, Celebrates International Day of the Girl Child.
This years theme is ‘Ending child marriage and investing in girls' rights”

The observation supports more opportunity for girls and increases awareness of gender inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender. This inequality includes areas such as access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, and protection from discrimination, violence against women and forced child marriage.[1] The celebration of the day also "reflects the successful emergence of girls and young women as a distinct cohort in development policy, programming, campaigning and research."

Happy international Girls child day.
