International Day of the Girl Child- October 11th 2012
Raise your hand if you believe every gril has the right to an education
Globally, one in three girls around the world is denied an education by the realities of poverty, discrimination and violence. Every day, young girls are taken out of school, forced into marriage and subjected to violence.We need your support to ensure millions more girls get the education, skills and support they need to move themselves from poverty to opportunity.
Raise Your Hand today to help break down the barriers to girls' education. Raise your Hand at: www.facebook.com/becauseiamagirl.au
