Another key focus of International Day of the Girl Child is addressing harmful practices like child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM), which disproportionately affect girls. These practices violate girls' rights, harm their health, and hinder their opportunities for development. International Day of the Girl Child raises awareness of these issues and advocates for policies that protect girls and promote their well-being, pushing for changes in laws and social norms to create safer environments for girls to thrive.

International Day of the Girl Child is a call to action for communities, governments, and organisations to invest in the future of girls. By providing them with opportunities, protecting their rights, and breaking down barriers, the day aims to create a world where girls are empowered to be leaders, innovators, and change-makers. It highlights the importance of continued global efforts to build a more equitable future where every girl can live free from discrimination and have the chance to reach her full potential. Wishing everyone Happy International Girl Child Day 2024!
