Today is International #DayOfTheGirl!

All around the world, girls are taking charge - from #ClimateChange movements to #digitalhealth solutions.

Let’s listen to girls and follow their leadership as we reimagine an equal world for everyone.
On International #DayOfTheGirl,
we're celebrating the importance, power, and potential of girls around the world. Join a conversation across the generations: bit.ly/36ORXjy
Progress has been made in the last two decades to ensure every girl is able to grow and develop in good health, but there is much still to do.

On #DayoftheGirl and
every day, WHO makes the health and wellbeing of girls a priority: bit.ly/36ORXjy
Girls everywhere are changing the world.

On #DayoftheGirl let's work to fulfill the WHO-@UNICEF-@TheLancet Commission's call to meaningfully engage children and youth in decision making and policies that affect their health and their futures: bit.ly/3lMuC6D
