International Day of the Girl Child

We're going to have a lot of fun with that.

And as mentioned, our Girls Forward is going to be activating because the International Day of the Girl is, I believe, October 11th.

And so we're going to be tying that in and really, really elevating the voices and celebrating women and girls in sport and in an expansive way of women and girls.

Absolutely.

It's not a generic, hey, teachers, we love you.

We have World Mental Health Day on the 10th, International Day of the Girl on the 11th, Digital Citizenship Week the 20th through the 24th.

This has become more and more important as we think about AI.

So look at your audience, see if this is an issue of theirs.

I'd welcome you actually backing in some of the work we do in developing countries in relation to the rights of women and girls.

I'd welcome you on the International Day of the Girl Child, or October 11, standing up and giving bipartisan support to development assistance so we can actually work to prevent child marriage and to provide girls with education.

then I might take you seriously and we might take you seriously and women and girls around this country might take you seriously when it comes to issues of equality

and respect.

I didn't know very much about Gloria Steinem, and I can remember, like, very vividly one podcast where, like, talking about influential women, influential women.

I think it was, like, maybe, like, an International Women's Day or International Day of the Girl or something, one of those days.

Um, and-

International Day of the Girl.

Love it.

[laughs]

Mm-hmm.

So for International Day of the Girl, that was when we did our first big campaign.

We published perspectives and profiled amazing young women around the world who were activists in different fields.

And that's where the next day, Race With a Spoon promoted us.
