The International Day of the Girl is an annual internationally recognized observance on October 11 that empowers young girls and amplifies their voices. Similar to its adult version, International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8, the Intl. Day of the Girl acknowledges the importance, power, and potential of young girls by encouraging more opportunities for them and work towards eliminating gender-based challenges that they face around the world.

In celebration of the International Day of the Girl 2021, M.T.O. Shahmaghsoudi® centers throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia hosted virtual roundtables and invited local changemakers to share their perspectives and stories. The discussions offered possibilities and solutions for empowering young girls in our respective communities. Thank you to all of the inspiring individuals and organizations who joined us on this special day.
