- History shows that it hasn’t ever been easy to be a girl, and, despite awesome changes in the status and perception of women and girls, herstory is still a complicated and challenging one. The Day of the Girl is about putting girls in charge of their own challenges so they can create the changes they want for their lives. What changes do you think girls are interested in making?
- Day of the Girl is not about oppressing boys. It’s about lifting up girls in a way that recognizes their unique lives and challenges. By doing that, and by empowering girls to take charge in the public policy arena, we create a world in which all people are lifted up, regardless of sex.

“The day of the girl is important to me because it gives me the chance to speak for others who cant speak for themselves. It is a refreshing way for me to step outside my own world and help those that really need it.” Torie A., age 15
“The Day of the Girl is important to me because there is really no day currently celebrated to increase awareness about these issues. I am very supportive of girl’s rights and gender equality, because there is no reason why they shouldn’t be equal, and only good things can come from increasing awareness about this.” Naomi L., age 14

Sample 200-word insert
The Day of the Girl is about highlighting, celebrating, discussing, and advancing girls lives and opportunities across the globe.
WHAT DO GIRLS WANT? We want equality. In everything. Equal access to education opportunities, in the subjects we choose. Recognition for how good we are at math, science, and lots of other stuff. More opportunities to play sports. Media images that show girls and women who actually look like us. Health care that helps us live longer, stronger lives. Freedom from violence, so we can feel safe in our bodies. To make our own choices, regardless of the culture, stereotypes, hemisphere, or history we were born into. Equal work, equal pay, and equal power. Is this too much to ask
Well, we’re not asking, we’re telling you that we are the future of our planet and our people. We deserve lives filled with abundance where our voices have impact. We want to be valued and respected so we can exceed expectations. We want what everyone wants: to live our lives in our own ways.
