11 Days of Action 2024!

Girls’ Vision for the Future

Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the Working Group on Girls (WGG) International Day of the Girl (IDG) Summit and Girls Speak Out. The IDG Summit, created by WGG, brings together girls and organizations that support them to celebrate the International Day of the Girl—a moment when girl advocates take center stage at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Chamber.

In 2025, we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action and its groundbreaking Section L, which was the first international instrument to recognize the inequalities faced by girls and lay out a roadmap for the full realization of their rights. In anticipation of this milestone, and to acknowledge both the progress made and the work still to be done, the Working Group on Girls will use the 2024 International Day of the Girl and Girls Speak Out to empower girl activists and their peers.

This is a crucial moment to advance our mission and ensure that girls’ voices are heard on a global scale. By collaborating, we harness our collective resources to create a dynamic platform that amplifies girls’ voices and advances their human rights. Over the past decade, girls have stepped into leadership roles, advocating not only for themselves but also for the rights of others.

Girl activists have chosen “Girls’ Vision for the Future” as this year’s theme to emphasize their agency and the clarity of the future they envision. This theme is a powerful reminder that girls must be included in any decisions shaping their future, particularly in the implementation of key global initiatives such as the Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations. Their voices are essential to ensuring that these frameworks reflect their needs, aspirations, and rights.

The 11 Days of Action Campaign that runs from October 1st – October 11th will amplify the voices of girl activists and address critical issues concerning girls’ rights, particularly those highlighted in the Beijing Platform for Action that have yet to be realized. Each day of the campaign will focus on a different theme or area of concern promoted across the social media platform. Join Us for IDG’s #11DaysofAction and together, we can change the world.

From October 1 – 11, this page will be updated every day to highlight the critical issues faced by girls, their recommendations and call to action during the IDG Summit and acknowledge the work of our Sponsoring Organizations.
