Shatter the myth. Girls are not waiting for permission to lead. They are leading now. Honor the International Day of the Girl Child by supporting a girl-led initiative or amplifying a young woman's story

On this International Day of the Girl Child, let's shatter the myth that girls are merely "the future."

Girls are the PRESENT. They are innovators, activists, and change-makers right now, especially on the frontlines of global crises.

As Malala Yousafzai wisely said: "We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back. We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave – to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential."

Let's use our voices here on World Pulse to amplify their stories. If you know a girl or young woman leading change, tag her, share her work, or dedicate a word of encouragement below.

Invest in a girl, and you invest in humanity.
