Let’s break the silence and make menstruation a topic of empowerment, not embarrassment. So, what can we do? Start with conversations. Normalize talking about periods—at home, in schools, everywhere. Push for better access to products and menstrual-friendly spaces. Most importantly, remind every girl that periods are normal part of your life and momentary transformation in your life. Let’s be our girl’s guide.

Today, on National Girl Child Day, we celebrate the potential and power of girls everywhere. Empowering girls is not just a responsibility; it's a necessity for a brighter future. By providing education, support, and opportunities, we can help them break barriers and achieve their dreams. Let's work together to create a world where every girl can thrive and contribute to society. Together, we can build a future filled with possibilities for our daughters, sisters, and friends. #NationalGirlChildDay #EmpowerGirls #BrightFuture"

🖤🤎 #Children are taught to hate. Children are also taught to love. Children can be taught to be accomplices as opposed to growing up and becoming online bandwagon jumpers, slactivists on platforms like Linkedin, Instagram, Facebook, or who engage in trolling behaviours online as adults when it comes to equity, decolonization, anti-racist movements, etc. Children can be taught compassionate care, can be raised to be empathetic and critically aware global citizens. Children can be taught humility, children can be taught to continously be open to learning. #BlackLivesMatter protest in Geensboro (North Carolina), where photographer Kevin Greene snapped this photo of Micheal Harris holding hands with a white child, Emory Lewellyn (4yo), on May 31, 2020. "That’s what it was. It was love being shown through a group of people, working for the same common goals,” he said. “That’s the sustainable change the little girl allowed everybody to see all over the world.” Harris said the moment was spontaneous. Four-year-old Emory Lewellyn ran to him and grabbed his hand. He reached for hers, and now two strangers are now a symbol of unity. “I’m thankful that little girl could touch a lot of people’s hearts,” Harris said."

𝗔 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗰𝘆: First established in 1954, November 20 holds immense significance.

World Health Organization The International Day of the Girl Child, observed annually on October 11th, serves as a reminder of the significant challenges girls face across the globe, particularly in Nigeria. In a society deeply rooted in tradition and cultural expectations, girls in Nigeria confront unique obstacles that hinder their growth, education, and health. These challenges are not only societal but also deeply tied to their health and well-being, specifically concerning reproductive health, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and life-threatening conditions like HPV and cervical cancer. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation The Struggles of the Nigerian Girl Child In many parts of Nigeria, gender inequality begins at birth. Girls are often treated as secondary to boys, with less investment in their education, personal development, and health. Cultural norms discourage girls from being assertive or pursuing careers, as societal pressure places more importance on their roles as future wives and mothers. For many girls, the lack of access to quality education and healthcare limits their opportunities in life, often leaving them vulnerable to poverty, abuse, and poor health outcomes. Health and STI Struggles Sexually transmitted infections, including HPV, disproportionately affect young girls in Nigeria. With limited sexual education and access to health resources, many girls are unaware of the dangers of unprotected sex. The HPV and Cervical Cancer Crisis Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common infection that is often contracted through sexual contact. In many cases, it is preventable through vaccination and regular screening. However, in Nigeria, the awareness and availability of these preventive measures are limited, especially for girls in rural areas. Cervical cancer, which is closely linked to HPV, is a significant health concern for Nigerian women. Due to the lack of awareness and healthcare infrastructure, many women only receive a diagnosis when the cancer is in its late stages, making it harder to treat. Solutions and Advocacy To address these challenges, there must be a multi-faceted approach that includes education, healthcare access, and community support. As an advocate for HPV and cervical cancer screening, I, Augustina Balogun, have been working tirelessly to raise awareness about HPV and cervical cancer in Nigeria. Conclusion On this International Day of the Girl Child, we must continue to advocate for the rights of girls in Nigeria. They deserve access to quality education, healthcare, and the freedom to make choices that will shape their futures. By addressing issues related to sexually transmitted infections, HPV, and cervical cancer, we can help create a healthier and more empowered generation of girls. My mission, as a lead advocate for HPV and cervical cancer prevention, remains to ensure that no girl is left behind. Augustina Balogun Lead Advocate for HPV and Cervical Cancer Prevention

It doesn’t really matter to report things a little late if you arrive with the right issue and great intent. As we celebrated National Girl Child Day yesterday, the theme "Empowering Girls for a Bright Future " recalled my squirrel efforts in this regard. I remember it was the year 1990- The SAARC Year of the Girl Child. A campaign brief landed on my lap (rather I discovered it accidentally while doing my PG studies by my sheer creativity craving). Under the banner of DAVP—the premier government advertising agency for the Ministry of Women and Child Empowerment. The task? Craft a national campaign to inspire a country to rethink its relationship with the girl child. The timeline? 3–4 hours. I remember opening the file, a thick compilation of reports, data, and notes. It wasn’t just a campaign; it was a call to action. Every line I wrote needed to speak to hearts in bustling cities and quiet villages alike. The Process The first hour was about absorbing the soul of the message: A girl is not just a child. She’s a future. A promise. Then came the challenge: How do you turn a monumental idea into words that stick? ↳ The tone had to be urgent yet hopeful. ↳ The message had to resonate across all languages of the Nation. ↳ The slogans had to inspire pride, action, and change. I distilled the core idea into feelings like: ↳ “Given chance, girl child can soar to unimaginable heights.” ↳ “Nurture Her Dreams, Empower the Nation.” The Outcome To my pride, my words weren’t turned out to be mere slogans—they became a movement. Translated into over a dozen languages, they adorned banners, hoardings, schools, and public spaces, echoing across the nation. That moment taught me the power of clarity, precision, and the right message at the right time. And above all else, delivering a long-term impact message in a critically short time span. Have you ever crafted something that left an indelible impact, under a critical shortage of time? Share your views on what strategies work faster to Empower Girl Child for a Bright Future!! #DAVP #GirlChild #GovernmentofIndia #WordsThatMatter #NationBuilding #EmpoweringGirls #CreativityInAction

Happy Universal Children's Day, 2024. Children are not just our future, they are our present and their rights as well as voices are more important than ever. As we celebrate the Universal Children's Day 2024, let us ponder upon this year's strong theme:  "Listen. Reflect and Engage." - Listen: Actually hear what children say about their dreams, fears, and hopes. - Reflect on their views and the challenges they face in today's world.  - Engage in meaningful ways for their protection and building a safe, healthy, and inclusive world. At Compassion Africa Initiative, every day is a celebration of empowerment for a child. This day reminds us that fostering respect, dignity, and opportunity for children isn't just a duty but a shared responsibility. How to join the conversation? -Advocate for child rights.  -Volunteer your time to mentor or support a child.  -Create places where children can feel seen, heard, and valued. Let's ensure that every child knows their voice counts and their future is bright. #UniversalChildrensDay #UNICEF
