Press Release

The Girls Human Rights Hub (GHRH) is launching a landmark campaign to designate February as Girls’ Human Rights Month, a global movement aimed at tackling gender-based violence, systemic discrimination, and barriers to leadership and justice for girls.

While International Day of the Girl (October 11) raises awareness once a year, one day is not enough to confront the complex and deeply rooted inequalities that millions of girls face daily. From child marriage and lack of education to gender-based violence and legal disenfranchisement, girls’ rights are still widely ignored or neglected in policies, laws, and communities worldwide.

Under the official hashtag #MakeFebruaryGirlsHumanRightsMonth, the campaign will mobilize activists, lawyers, educators, policymakers, and young girls to push for sustained action, demand policy changes, and create legal frameworks that protect girls’ rights year-round.

Are you ready to take on the challenge and make a difference? 💡✨

The Girls Human Rights Challenge is your chance to pitch bold, innovative solutions to tackle the most pressing issues affecting girls’ rights across the globe. Whether you’re advocating for education, fighting gender-based violence, or addressing menstrual health rights, this is your moment to shine!

Deadline for submissions: 10 February 2025.

This February, we’re thrilled to launch a campaign to designate February as “Girls Human Rights Month.” This initiative aims to raise awareness and advocate for the rights of girls worldwide, addressing critical issues such as gender-based violence, and gender inequality. By dedicating an entire month to these concerns, GHRH seeks to inspire collective action and foster a global movement committed to empowering girls and ensuring their rights are recognised and upheld.
