Barbados to mark International Day of the Girl

Barbados will lend its voice to the issues impacting girls, when it joins with the UNICEF Eastern Caribbean Area Office, UN Women, and USAID Eastern and Southern Caribbean Office to mark International Day of the Girl, on Friday, October 11.

The day is considered a significant global occasion to celebrate girls worldwide, amplify their voices, and advocate for their rights.

The theme for International Day of the Girl is Girls’ Vision for the Future, and it is deemed relevant in light of the recent Eastern Caribbean U-Report poll, which underscored concerns about girls’ rights and experiences of sexual harassment and abuse.
