The
#InternationalDayoftheGirl is almost here, and our partners have already begun joint advocacy activities, starting with Uganda!👏 This week, on the 6th of October, AG's Uganda network partners brought together 200 girls from 12 schools to celebrate
#IDG2026.✨
During the celebration, adolescent girls held girl-led group conversations on the barriers that limit them from exercising their agency and reaching their full potential. The sessions were facilitated by
@GirlUpUganda's mentors and school teachers. The girls later presented on the change they want to see at home, in school, in the community, and in leadership. The girls talked about staying in school, the need to end child marriage, and support girls' rights, choices, and aspirations.
AG partners represented were: Girl Up Uganda,
@ipfug,
@reachahand, and
@GirlPowerFoUg. The African Women and Girls Organisation (AWAGO) also joined the celebration and facilitated a grounding meditation session for the girls.
