The International Day of the Girl Child 2024

The International Day of the Girl Child, a day dedicated to recognizing the strength, resilience, and limitless potential of girls worldwide.

To honor this important occasion, the Girls with Period team visited several schools within their club. This experience amplified these young voices as they spoke about their experiences and dreams, reinforcing their pride in being girls and commitment to making a positive impact in the world. The International Day of the Girl Child outreach inspired the girls to be bold, strong, and driven to achieving their aspirations.

The International Day of the Girl Child marks just one step in the ongoing efforts of the Girls with Period Initiative to uplift and empower girls. They remain committed to creating a world where all girls feel confident and capable of achieving their dreams.
