The United Nations declared October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child to recognize girls’ rights and highlight the unique challenges and solutions to realizing these rights. This year’s International Day of the Girl Child focuses on Innovating for Girls’ Education.
Selena Fox, World Forum Foundation board member, shared these thoughts about "this important opportunity to be voices for our precious vulnerable girls in nations around the world who are in situations of challenge that no one deserves. In privileged societies or communities it is so hard to comprehend… yet too many times (and once in our world would be too many) even if a girl child has the grace of life, she may miss out on education or become a victim of neglect. It breaks my heart."
Selena shared this painful video about the most dire of threats to girls: It's a Girl documentary.
