As we prepare for the 2023 IDG Summit, we are reflecting on last year’s celebration for the 10th Anniversary!

On 11 October 2022, for the annual Day of the Girl Summit “Girls Speak Out” event, girl activists and girl advocates participated in a hybrid (in-person and virtual) town hall designed to deliver unscripted and authentic dialogue between policymakers, girl allies, and girl leaders working for the fulfillment of girls’ rights. In candid, girl-led conversations among girl activists and distinguished members of the UN community,  girls shared their perspectives and experiences and had a dialogue with policymakers around progress for girls’ rights.

The discussion included video content from previous IDG Summits, as well as recorded video submissions from girls who could not attend, live to enhance the dialogue among participants. Distinguished members of the UN community and commitment makers aligned with Generation Equality responded to the monologues and questions put forth by girls and spoke to how the United Nations can commit to supporting girls’ call for accountability in ensuring girls’ rights.

The Working Group on Girls in partnership with the Member States Canada, Peru, and Turkey facilitated the solicitation and coordination of this IDG event in collaboration with Girl Advocates, who led the direction of the event format and informed any modifications needed for the event concept.
