Make February Girls Human Rights Month

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 recognized and upheld.

A key highlight of this campaign is the Girls Human Rights Festival, scheduled from February 17 to 21, 2025, in London. This five-day event will feature workshops, panels, and networking opportunities, focusing on leadership, legal advocacy, and social change. The festival aims to bring together activists, leaders, and advocates from across the globe to engage in meaningful dialogue and collaboration, celebrating the ongoing work toward gender equality and girls’ empowerment.

Throughout February, we want as many individuals, schools, universities, workplaces as possible to join our movement by organising their own event/s. We want you to highlight key issues, share stories, and support young advocates who are leading change in legal advocacy, education, policy development, community empowerment, and digital activism.

By establishing February as Girls’ Human Rights Month, GHRH intends to create a dedicated time for reflection, education, and action, encouraging individuals and organizations worldwide to participate in events, campaigns, and initiatives that promote and protect the rights of girls. This concerted effort seeks to amplify the voices of girls, highlight their unique challenges, and mobilize resources and support to address systemic issues affecting their well-being and development.
