International Day of Girl Child is being celebrated today. This year the theme of International Day of the Girl Child is “My voice, our equal future”. The theme focuses on inclusion, gender quality and listening to what girls want, their dreams and aspirations.. International Day of the Girl Child is a United Nations designated day, observed every year on October 11. This year, Day of the Girl Child is also significant as the ‘Generation Equality’ campaign has been launched. It is a “multi-year, multi-partner campaign and movement for bold action on gender equality”. In a pandemic year, a clear agenda and multi pronged approach is essential to look after the needs and opportunities of adolescent girls. “Support girls. Listen to girls. Help girls realize their dreams,” Henrietta H. Fore, the executive director of UNICEF said in a tweet today.     

International Day of Girl Child this year marks 25 years of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action for working towards empowering girls and their rights globally.
