National girl child day celebrated across the country to promote awareness about the rights of girl child. As we celebrate accomplishments of our daughters, we pledge to bridge the gender divide to build Society with Equal right. This year we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the International Day of the girl (IDG). In these last 10 years, there has been increased attention on issues that matter to girls amongst governments, policymakers and the general public, and more opportunities for girls to have their voices heard on the global level. The purpose of this is to give girl child the opportunity to lead by putting them in the forefront of change efforts, hearing their voices, responding to their asks, and welcoming them in decision-making spaces.

Girls around the world continue to face unprecedented challenges to their education, their physical and mental wellness, and the protections needed for a life without violence. Girls with disabilities face additional barriers to accessing support and services," the United Nations official website reads. It called for action and urged people to get involved by sharing human interest stories, blogs and videos. An OTT Platform named ‘EORTV’ also came forward to promote & support Gender Equality throught their TV Shows, Movies, Series & more. International Day of the Girl Child History
