According to Wikipedia, the International Day of Girls initiative began as a project of Plan International, a non-governmental organization that operates worldwide. The idea for an international day of observance and celebration grew out of Plan International’s “Because I Am a Girl” campaign, which raises awareness of the importance of nurturing girls globally and in developing countries in particular.

They now take part and have a big role to play in issues that concerns the society they live in. The rate of child marriage has reduced,  rape and domestic violence,  and also the girl child is now able to express herself in public without the fear of being bashed by the opposite gender. She is now able to go to places freely and also make choices that will affect her life. In this effect, the girl child can be said to be unscripted and unstoppable.  

Several movements have been created that preach to adolescents on the disadvantages of child marriage and inequality in the society. These societies also empower the girl child on the things they can do to help their community in particular and the society in general. 

  Basically,  this year’s theme celebrates the achievements of the girl child since the adoption of Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action,  which was aimed at recognizing the rights of women and girls.
