The International Day of the Girl Child 2022
Theme: ‘’Our time is now – our rights, our future”.
UNICEF organized a panel discussion and conversation with five women and a small group of amazing girls who are taking leadership roles in their schools and girls’ empowerment groups. Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr was honored to be a member of the panel and to share her personal story alongside four inspirational women. They had a fun-filled and impactful time, motivating the girls to continue to be resilient, consistent, and dedicated irrespective of the challenges they all face. The International Day of the Girl Child is an important day but Mayor Aki-Sawyerr emphasized girls should be celebrated and recognized every day of the year.
