‘Ferocious power and energy’? Twitter is all about the GIRL today

by

Four years ago, the United Nations General Assembly declared October 11th the International Day of the Girl, and did so in order to recognise the unique challenges which 1.1. billion girls around the world face on a daily basis.

From being denied education to enduring forced marriages, girls – from conception through to adulthood – face considerable obstacles, and it is the United Nation's aim to counteract the disadvantages experienced by girls on a global scale.

From celebrating daughters, sisters and mothers, Twitter is fully behind them on this one.
