International Day of the Girl Child
October 11 is International Day of the Girl Child, which was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in December 2011 in recognition of the rights of girls.
Healthy and happy girls - happy moms in the future
This date calls to focus on the need to solve the problems faced by girls around the world and to encourage the empowerment and applying of girls rights.
Girls-teenagers have the right for safety, education and health, not only in the period of critical formation, but also as they grow into women. With effective support during adolescence, girls can realize their potential and change the world for the better by becoming mothers, workers, entrepreneurs, mentors, household heads, and political leaders.
Today, 1 billion young people live in the world, including 600 million teenage girls. They all have tremendous potential to transform our future. However, they face discrimination and harassment every day, anywhere in the world.
Investing (social, economic and political) in empowering adolescent girls ensures their rights today and promise a fairer and more prosperous future, one in which the beautiful half of humanity is an equal partner in tackling climate change, resolving political conflict, ensuring economic growth , disease prevention and sustainable development.
Over the past 15 years, the global community has made significant progress in improving the lives of girls in early childhood. However, it is clearly not enough to invest in solving the problems girls face when entering the second decade of their lives. It is about getting a quality secondary and higher education, the ability to avoid marriage in childhood, providing them with information and services related to sexual maturity and reproductive health, and the ability to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and gender-based violence.
Lina Medina is the youngest mother in medical history. At the age of 5 years, 7 months and 17 days,
on May 14, 1939, Lina gave birth to a boy through a cesarean section.
Lina’s son weighed 2.7 kg at birth and was named Gerardo, after the doctor who gave birth. The boy was raised, considering Lina to be his sister, until the age of ten he learned the truth. He grew up healthy, but died at the age of forty in 1979 from a bone marrow disease.
For the first time, the girls day was celebrated in 2012 and was devoted to a problem that is relevant for many countries around the world - child marriage, which constitutes a violation of basic human rights and negatively affects all aspects of girls' lives, depriving them of their childhood, and threatening the health and lives of girls.
In 2013, the Day was devoted to the theme “An innovative approach to the education of girls”, which is also relevant for modern society. Indeed, despite the significant progress achieved in recent years in the accessibility of education for girls, many of them are still deprived of this basic right for a number of reasons, including: financial difficulties of the family, poor quality of education in some countries, household chores and others.
In 2014, in recognition of the important role of investing and empowering girls in their teens, as well as preventing and eliminating the various forms of violence to which they are subjected, the theme of the Day was “Empowering teenage girls: ending the cycle of violence".
The theme of the Day of 2015 was: “Invest today to help contribute to the development of our world tomorrow,” which continued the theme of 2014 about the need and the important role of investing and empowering girls in their teens.
In 2016, the theme of the Day was: "Improving the status of girls means progress in achieving goals: what is important for girls." To take into account the factors affecting the situation of girls around the world, information gathering is necessary. This will identify ways to solve the problems that girls face, and will also help in developing appropriate strategies and programs.
In 2017, the Girls' Day marks the beginning of many years of work aimed at stimulating global attention and action in front of the challenges and opportunities that girls face before, during and after crises.
And in 2018, launched a campaign to bring together partners and stakeholders to draw attention to the need for investment and address the most pressing problems of girls, as well as to expand their employment opportunities.
And today, on the International Day of the Girl Child, all states are encouraged to hold thematic events dedicated to discussing possible ways to solve the problems of girls.
