International Day of the Girl
Every year on October 11, the global community comes together to celebrate International Day of the Girl.
It’s the day when you can recognize the power of girls everywhere—and highlight, discuss, and take action to advance the rights of, and opportunities for, girls across the globe.
Every girl has the power to realize her potential. But it’s important to amplify girls’ voices and advocate for their inclusion in changemaking spaces. By supporting and investing in girls, you can make the world a better place.
Celebrate International Day of the Girl to not only to support a platform where girls can speak out, but also to share girls’ achievements, triumphs, and contributions as we build towards a brighter and more equitable future for girls everywhere.
Juneteenth
Juneteenth (June 19), also known as Freedom Day, is a monumental
moment for African Americans in the United States. Even though
President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation,
officially ending slavery in 1863, in-practice slavery remained in
some parts of the country. When word that the Civil War was over and
slavery was abolished finally made it to Galveston, Texas, on June 19,
1865, celebrations among the newly free, Black community followed.
This was the beginning of the annual tradition, Juneteenth.
Celebrations of Juneteenth include faith and community-based events
with prayer service, parades, food, athletic competitions, oral
readings, reflections, dancing, and more!
Learn and
understand the importance of Juneteenth by completing one or more activities.
