In this special LightRay! Media Empowering a Brighter Future: Celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child series, we put together a collage of young African teens and adults between the ages of 11 to 25 who are spreading their #BlackGirlMagic across the globe.
October 11th marks the International Day of the Girl Child, a global observance declared by the United Nations in 2012. This day serves as a catalyst for promoting girls’ empowerment, advocating for their rights, and addressing the unique challenges they face. The theme “My Voice, Our Equal Future” emphasizes the importance of listening to girls’ voices as well as boys to create a more equitable world.
The International Day of the Girl Child highlights the disparities and inequalities that girls encounter daily, including:
– Limited access to education and healthcare
– Child marriage and teenage pregnancy
– Gender-based violence and discrimination
– Lack of representation in leadership and decision-making
However, empowering girls is only half the equation. To create a truly inclusive and equitable society, it’s essential to engage and educate boys as well. By involving boys in the conversation, we can:
– Break down harmful gender stereotypes
– Foster healthy relationships and mutual respect
– Promote positive masculinity
– Encourage boys to become allies and advocates for girls’ rights
On this International Day of the Girl Child, we recognize that empowering both girls and boys is crucial for achieving:
– Gender equality
– Social justice
– Economic growth
– Sustainable development
In celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, we shine a spotlight on remarkable young Black girls who are breaking barriers and achieving excellence in STEM, writing, speaking, and career achievements. Their stories serve as inspiration and testament to the potential of girls everywhere.
Every May 28 marks world menstrual hygiene day, it’s a day to raise awareness about the importance of good menstrual hygiene, ensure access to menstrual products for all, and break the stigmas associated with menstruation. But it’s quite unfortunate we are yet to achieve this, especially in Nigeria.
