“Digital Generation. Our generation” is this year’s theme for International Day of the Girl Child. Various government and non-government organisations and foundations across the globe will host virtual seminars, discussions or presentations on this day. People can participate by posting stories, videos and blogs on achievements by girls. The day is observed on October 11.
Here are some of the events that will take location on International Day of the Girl Child 2021:
1. UNICEF has stressed the gender inequality faced by girls when it comes to working with and owning electronic devices. This year, the Generation Equality Forum has launched a 5-year program for bolder options to gender inequality. It consists of generating technologies more accessible to girls.
2. Women Of The World (WOW), which is run by the WOW Foundation, United Kingdom, will present a musical show – WOW Sounds. The programme will showcase a line-up of girl bands from across the globe. The aim is to highlight the gender disparity and racism in the music market. Each overall performance will be pre-recorded and distributed by means of WOW’s IGTV and YouTube on October 11.
