A video statement was recorded by Farah Hani, a child from the Egyptian Coalition for Child Rights, to mark the International Day of the Girl.
Among the main points Farah raised:
- Creating opportunities for girls to speak out and to become advocates and activists in many fields, above all girls’ rights.
- Working together with girls to confront these challenges.
- Reducing early marriage.
- Society paying attention to the harms girls face.
- African governments raising awareness around child labour.
- Strengthening the role of education and supporting the learning process.
- Enacting laws to protect working girls.
- Strengthening the awareness-raising role of families and specialists.
