The International Day of the Girl was established by the United Nations last year in recognition of the importance of investing in girls and the unique challenges girls face in accessing education, health care, and economic opportunity. The Day of the Girl is about highlighting, celebrating, discussing and advancing girls lives and opportunities across the globe. Girls have made significant progress in recent years; however, the fact remains that in many societies, girls are still valued less than boys. Worldwide, two-thirds of the 130 million children who are not in school are girls; more than 25,000 girls under the age of 18 are married every day, and in the developing world, one-third of girls are married before they turn 18.
So here's to my girls. I love you both...All the way to the moon and back.
