International Day of the Girl Child for 2022

Today October 11th, 2022 is a very special day at Akhepran International Academy, as we join the world in celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child. The day is devoted to the rights of girls and the specific difficulties that girls face worldwide.

The subject or theme of the International Day of the Girl Child for 2022 is “Our time is now—our rights, our future.”

The International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights.

Adolescent girls have the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life, not only during these critical formative years, but also as they mature into women. If effectively supported during the adolescent years, girls have the potential to change the world – both as the empowered girls of today and as tomorrow’s workers, mothers, entrepreneurs, mentors, household heads, and political leaders.

Take a moment to celebrate and encourage the girls in your life today!
