11th October 2026

International Day of the Girl Child



2026 theme: "End child marriage and invest in girls’ rights"


"Celebrated every year on 11 October, International Day of the Girl is 

a global moment to celebrate girls everywhere, amplifying their voices, 

actions and leadership. 

It belongs to everyone who cares about girls and their rights. 

On this day, we come together to recognize and advocate for the full 

spectrum of girls’ rights.  


End child marriage and invest in girls’ rights!


This year’s theme was developed through consultations with girls,

girls’ organizations and girl-led networks as well as civil society 

organizations and United Nations partners. 

Together, they called for urgent action to end child marriage and 

invest in girls’ rights – our 2026 theme. (...)"

Girls are leaders. Girls are change-makers. Girls are driving good and growth around the world.
