Every year, on 11 October, UNICEF launches an annual campaign with girls to amplify their voices and stand up for their rights. This year, under the theme β€œMy voice, our equal future,” let’s seize the opportunity to reimagine a better world inspired by adolescent girls – energised and recognised, counted and invested in.

As adolescent girls worldwide assert their power as change-makers, International Day of the Girl (IDG) 2020 focuses on their demands to:

  • Live free from gender-based violence, harmful practices, and HIV and AIDS
  • Learn new skills towards the futures they choose
  • Lead as a generation of activists accelerating social change
