Revive Action Cameroon (REVACAM)’s Post

The International Day of the Girl Child 2023, with theme: "Our time is now-our rights, our future" The agenda 2030 for sustainable development promotes equality for all, and propagates that no one be left behind. In order to achieve this it is important to ensure that the human rights of vulnerable populations which involves girls and women are promoted. This day in particular is important as it focuses on the need to address the challenges girls face, it paves the way for resourcing the key areas that enable girls empowerment and achieving their full potential. Girls health is not only important to them but the future generations. All girls have the right to a safe, educated and healthy life and this support is necessary not only in their adolescent age, but as they mature into women. This is to be done by protecting their maternal healthcare and support parenting for adolescent mothers. There is also a need to break the barriers and boundaries reinforced by stereotypes and exclusion, girls are vital in creating a world that is relevant not only for them but future generations, girls voices must be heard in every area of the society. Girls have a potential to change the world both as empowered girls of today and tomorrow workers, mothers, entrepreneurs, mentors, house hold heads, political leaders etc. It is important to invest in realising the power of adolescent girls, uphold their Rights and promise a more equitable and prosperous future. #UNICEF #PlanInternational #UNFPACameroon #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild #REVACAM
