Happy #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild!
Millions of girls across the world are restricted on where they can go or who they can become because of their biological gender identity. Too many are being left behind, confronted by extreme challenges that deny them their rights,
restrict their choices & limit their futures.
We reiterate our stance in supporting the call to afford girls space to attain opportunities & realise their agency. We align with the 2024 theme "Girls’ Vision for the Future ".
