raise your voice for girls

GLOBAL ISSUES
On October 11, 2012, the world will rejoice in celebrating the first ever International Day of the Girl Child, proclaimed in December 2011 by the resolution of the UN General Assembly. Although the status of girls around the world does not call for a jubilation, the Day of the Girl is a wonderful opportunity to raise our voice for girls, to help them live their dreams and fulfill their aspirations, to educate ourselves about the struggles they face, and to galvanize global "enthusiasm for goals to better girls' lives." Please join Smile Play Learn and several other participating blogs in celebrating the Day of the Girl through a blog hop (linky) on October 11. 


Spread the Word & Join Our Blog Hop

Whether you blog or not, tell others about the significance of the Day of the Girl by organizing an event (or simply a playdate), engaging in related conversations with adults and children, and using your social media platforms to spread the word. The theme this year is ending child marriage but more than anything, the Day of the Girl is about "highlighting, celebrating, discussing, and advancing girls lives and opportunities across the globe." 

If you blog, you are cordially invited to participate in a Day of the Girl blog hop, which will go live on October 11. There are just a few simple steps you need to follow.

  • Please take a look at the following resources to learn more about the Day of the Girl and about various ways to observe it.
  • Compose a blog post with the Day of the Girl celebration in mind. The ideas for such a blog post are endless. Write a story about your life as a girl, the life of a girl you know, or about global challenges faced by girls around the globe. Feature an organization involved in advancing girls' rights. Post an interview with a girl about what it's like to be a girl today. Showcase a craft or a piece of art about girls. Review a book by or about girls.
  • Come back on October 11 and share your blog post through Linky Tools. The linky will go live on October 11 and will remain open for several weeks. If you would like to co-host the blog hop, please send me a message with a link to your blog. I will send you a linky code to post on your website.

Hi Paula: I saw the reference to the blog hop from Jennifer James and would love to join in! I'm also working on this with another Mom blogger who is doing a tweeter party that day. Can I join in and use some of the above resources and photos? That would be fantastic! Glad to be part of Global 200! Nicole

This falls on the day after my daughter's first birthday. Giving birth to her has seriously raised my awareness on issues that will affect her as she grows and matures - count me in!

Hi, just wanted to let you know I have written a post about girl-child related issues I cope with, as a mom of two girls. I would like to host a blog hop party, but don't know if there's any sense in doing it, since I am rather new in blogging and don't have many readers.

Education for woman should be strictly followed. It is the basic duty of a nation to provide education to both genders as well as males in an equal basis. Governments should strictly ensure that no girl child is deprived of basic education.
