International Day of the Girl child 2025

Girls around the world are rising above the barriers that have long held them back.

From being denied an education to facing early or forced marriage and gender-based violence, they refuse to be defined by limitations.

With courage, determination, and unshakable spirit, they are breaking stereotypes, pursuing their dreams, and claiming the future they deserve—proving that when girls are empowered, the world is transformed.

On Saturday’s Day of the Girl and every day, join #AWEC in standing with girls as they take charge of their futures.
