International Day of the Girl
Following campaigns by organizations including WAGGGS, its Member Organizations, Plan and Save the Children, the United Nations declared 11 October as International Day of the Girl from the year 2012 onward.
To celebrate this day, WAGGGS invites you to help create “The world we want for girls”. We have produced the following resources to help you mark International Day of the Girl.
