Day of the Girl 2024

Day of Girls and the International Day of the Girl is celebrated on 11 October. The first International Day of the Girl Child was observed in 2012. The year 2024 marks the 12th anniversary celebration of IDG.
Today’s generation of girls is disproportionately affected by global crises of climate, conflict, poverty and pushback on hard won gains for human rights and gender equality. Too many girls are still denied their rights, restricting their choices and limiting their futures.
Yet, recent analysis shows that girls are not only courageous in the face of crisis, but hopeful for the future. Every day, they are taking action to realize a vision of a world in which all girls are protected, respected and empowered.
But girls cannot realize this vision alone. They need allies who listen to and respond to their needs.

- Theme 2024:
"Girls' vision for the future."
This year’s theme, “Girls’ vision for the future,” seeks to empower girls, amplify their voices and support their agency to shape strategies and policies that ensure a better future for us all. Despite progress, 122 million girls remain out of school.
Despite progress, 122 million girls remain out of school. It is time to listen to girls, to invest in proven solutions that will accelerate progress towards a future in which every girl can fulfil her potential.
- Key data on girls and women’s right to education
Many girls and women cannot exercise their right to education due to gender inequality and discriminatory practices. Poverty, early marriage, and gender-based violence are just some of the reasons behind the high percentage of out-of-school and illiterate girls and women globally.
""Even without legal barriers, many structural factors can hinder girls’ education, development and civic participation. To achieve gender equality in education across the globe, we must sustain our efforts, equipping girls with tools and fostering environments conducive to their success."
Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO
