An introduction to the International Day of the Girl—and why it matters. Celebrated every October 11th, the United Nation's International Day of the Girl was created to increase awareness of issues that affect girls—and only girls—and to encourage progress toward gender equality. Nine stories inspired by the real-life experiences of girls from all over the globe bring to light the importance of this day. From gender-based violence to illiteracy, sanitation to child marriage, each story is set in a different country and sensitively describes a situation in which the main character faces an inequity based on her gender and young age. With realistic yet hopeful outcomes for each story, girls are presented as reformers, not victims. Ordinary girls making a powerful difference—these stories will stir the activist in every child!
