<p>On International Day of the Girl Child, we celebrate the potential of girls and highlight the challenges they face around the world. Girls have the right to an education, to be safe from violence, and to be heard and valued. But too often, these rights are denied. On this day, let us all recommit to creating a world where girls can reach their full potential and live free from discrimination and violence. Let us create a world where all girls are safe, educated, and empowered.</p>
