he Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis.
Today, we celebrate the strength, courage and leadership of girls around the world under the theme “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis.” We recognize the fact that while girls’ are shaping a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world from classrooms to communities, from innovation to advocacy across the globe, in underserved communities particularly in Nigeria the story is different. Lack of access to education, sexual and reproductive health, and rights, climate change, gender based violence among others have continued to increase the rate of child marriage.
In reaffirmation of our commitment to empowering the girl child to fulfill her potentials, Equity Watch Initiative (E-WIN) has continued to be in the frontline to ensure girls access to education, SRHR, raising climate champions, and working to reduce gender based violence and child marriage. As part of our celebration of International Day of the Girl Child, we distributed pads, school uniforms, books and other writing materials to young girls at Community Model Secondary School, Umuome, Ezza North, Ebonyi State. We believe that when you empower a girl, you empower a generation.
Let’s invest in rewriting the narratives by equipping girls to thrive, to stand on the frontlines of change and build a future where equality is not just a dream but a reality.
Together, we can amplify their power, protect their rights, and support their leadership in every sphere. Join us to act now!
