What is the future for the girl child?

On December 19, 2011, United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to declare October 11 as the International Day of the Girl-Child, to recognise girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.

The International Day of the Girl-Child based on information provided by the United Nations on their Website: un.org, focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights.
