October 11 is International Day of the Girl, a UN international observance dedicated to championing girls’ rights around the world. In Canada, this day is an important part of Women’s History Month celebrations. There is a growing recognition that support for girls and their basic human rights is key to fostering healthy communities. That’s why International Day of the Girl promotes equal treatment and opportunities for girls in areas such as law, nutrition, freedom from viol...ence and abuse, health care, education and training. Across the country and internationally, girls are making an impact and creating positive change in their communities and far beyond. They are leading the way as students, entrepreneurs, volunteers and activists, and proving that you are never too young to shape the future and improve the lives of others. Throughout October, tell us about the girls who are making a difference in your community using the hashtag #MakeAnImpact. If you know a girl who’s making an impact, encourage her to share her story on social media. #RecreationExcellence #internationaldayofthegirl #MakeAnImpact #STEM #WomensHistoryMonth See more
