Every year in October under the auspices of the United Nations, groups and individuals from across the globe honor and empower girls on International Day of the Girl.
This year joining in the observance, individuals and groups of students from schools across the Sacred Heart Network created strategies and action plans to extend girls rights inspired by the theme, “Our Voice, Our Equal Future”. The Sacred Heart participants designed each of these projects by sharing their passions as well as how we as individuals, and as Sacred Heart family, can act to support social equity such as reducing female infanticide, alleviating obstacles to girls’ education, addressing period poverty, and raising awareness and funds for the prevention of the practice of child brides. The breadth of the social awareness, diversity and talent of these students is shown, but all represent Cor Unum, the one heart that unites us. Gratitude goes to Sacred Heart Alumnae Lisabeth Kelly and Sasha Amelang for organizing this initiative.
