On Day of the Girl, Celebrating a School Program That Works

It is auspicious that the U.N. International Day of the Girl Child falls on October 11, 2015, close on the heels of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals. As the U.N. sets out to attain gender equality and women’s empowerment by 2030, the occasion provides an opportunity to highlight how adolescent girls are taking control of their own empowerment and setting the tone for women’s equality for the next 15 years.
