What does the perfect world for girls look like?
11 September 2012
As the first ever International Day of the Girl approaches on 11 October, help us build a vision of the perfect world for girls through pictures, videos and text submitted by young people worldwide.
For International Day of the Girl resources and to tell us what activities you're doing, visit our International Day of the Girl page. |
The World We Want for Girls is a new blog created by WAGGGS to act as a visualisation of the perfect world for girls, created by young people all over the globe.
We need contributions from young people worldwide. If you are under 30 years of age, show us what you want to see in a perfect world for girls.
On 11 October we will collect all the submissions so far and present them to decision makers and the wider world. After 11 October the blog will remain open as an ongoing project.
