This year's theme, "The girl I am, the change I lead: Girls on the frontlines of crisis," shines a spotlight on the remarkable contributions girls make in the face of adversity, including conflict, climate disasters, and displacement.
Girls are not just victims of circumstance; they are agents of change, innovators, and leaders. They are organizers in their communities, fighting for climate justice, and demanding an end to violence.
