Brigidines recognise that every year on October 11th, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child.
The day is dedicated to recognizing and promoting girls’ rights and empowerment worldwide. It is also a time to recognise and celebrate Girls’ achievements.
The United Nations Secretary General, António Guterres, sends this Message for the 2025 Day of the Girl:
“….the 2025 International Day of the Girl theme is:
‘The girl I am, the change I lead: Girls on the frontlines of crisis’.
All around the world, girls are stepping up to meet today’s biggest challenges. They are organizing in their communities, fighting for climate justice, demanding an end to violence and reimagining their futures. Girls are asking to be seen not only for the challenges they face, but for who they are and the solutions they bring. Yet, too often, their voices go unheard, their actions ignored, their needs and rights pushed aside.
International Day of the Girl is a rallying cry to see girls for who they truly are, to listen to their voices and to recognize their limitless potential.
For girls aren’t waiting for a better world, they are building it! ” (Source: UN)
