PrintJoin us online for the twelfth annual Girls Speak Out to celebrate International Day of the Girl! Together, we will take over the United Nations to celebrate girls' activism and advocacy for Girls' Vision for the Future!
This celebration is the result of the December 19, 2011 UN Resolution 66/170, designating the 11th of October International Day of the Girl Child- to recognize girls' experiences and promote girls' rights!
For many years, the Girls Speak Out has featured Girl Activists’ stories from around the world and reflections and responses by UN dignitaries. This year, we are excited to feature a new format: a girl-led UN Townhall discussion with questions from participants and attendees + an online forum for girls to discuss the issues with each other!
To receive the link for the online event, please register by Wednesday, October 8th.

For Girls: Is there a pressing social issue that girls face in your community or in the world? Do you have a question about what girl activists, policy makers, and other organizations are planning to create social change for girls rights in a specific area?
