Why is International Girl Child Day Important?

Back in 1995, countries from all around the world made a plan in Beijing to make sure women and girls are treated better. It was a big deal because it was the first time people talked about the rights of girls specifically. Then, in 2011, the United Nations decided that October 11 would be the International Day of the Girl Child. This day is a reminder that girls face challenges, and we need to protect their rights.

Girls have the right to be safe, go to school, and be healthy as they grow up. When we support them, they can become strong, smart, and confident women. They can become leaders, workers, mothers, and so much more. The United Nations wants to make sure that every girl can have a good life and a bright future.
