International Day of the Girl
Profiles:
Today is the International Day of the Girl, and to celebrate we are highlighting our female speakers who have contributed to a better world for girls and women.
Whether their contribution is to write stories about girls who won’t back down, or talking to girls across the country about how to be strong or brave in the face of struggle, these speakers are the champions for a better future for us all.
