International Day of the Girl

As mentioned previously, as part of our Humanities studies, 5L are concentrating on Global Goal number 5: Gender Equality. As part of this topic the class will be learning about the disadvantages girls/women face around the world and how we can make steps to change this.

In 2011, a United Nations resolution established 11 October as the International Day of the Girl Child a day designated for promoting the rights of girls and addressing the unique challenges they face. As the lead agency for the Day, UNICEF selected this year's theme, “The Power of the Adolescent Girl: Vision for 2030”.

It is hoped that we celebrate this day in class. I have asked every student to talk to their parents about this topic and how we can celebrate the day in class next Monday.

Many thanks.
