Girls are not only the leaders of tomorrow—they are changemakers today.

On Thursday, October 9th at 14:00 CET we hosted a virtual celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, where inspiring young leaders from crisis-affected contexts will share their stories of resilience, leadership, and innovation. Together with UNICEF, UNDP, and partners Anupam Foundation, DARE innovations and TurkishWIN, the event amplified girls’ voices, explored concrete solutions for advancing their rights, and strengthened commitments to STEM education, empowerment, and gender equality.

✨ Highlights included:

- Powerful testimonies from girl leaders driving change in crisis contexts

- A dynamic panel on challenges, opportunities, and pathways for girls’ leadership

- Interactive Q&A and audience engagement

- A career coaching session in partnership with the STEMinist Network, offering practical insights into pathways in STEM fields. Let’s come together to recognize, amplify, and invest in girls’ leadership on the frontlines of crisis.
