International Day of the Girl

It's #GirlHero Season

Celebrate International Day of the Girl with Girl Up!

Trailblaze Together

Girl Up is kicking off a month-long celebration of our global #GirlHeroes in honor of International Day of the Girl on October 11 and commemorating the collective power of girl leaders around the world. We know that when youth leaders trailblaze together, there’s no limit to what can be accomplished!

All October long, we’ll be celebrating the power of girls as leaders in social change by showcasing their diverse backgrounds, cultures, and advocacy experiences. Get a glimpse into the daily lives of girls from different countries, learning how they lead the way towards a better world—and how YOU can too!
