Supporting girls with children’s books around International Day of the Girl

The International Day of the Girl highlights and addresses the needs and challenges girls face while promoting the empowerment of girls and fulfilment of their human rights.

The UN’s 2019 theme for this day is “GirlForce: Unscripted and unstoppable”. A very important message which we want to support.

“Willow Willpower promotes the message of kids having faith in themselves and their dreams. It empowers kids to believe they can achieve anything they want to,” said Sarah Cannata, founding editor of This Woman Can, an online newshub and digital magazine that helps young people and women to realise and maximise their career and life potential.

Like the book “The Meadow” by Susan Bagdach, Willow Willpower’s focus is on self-fulfilment and the courage to stand up for one’s dreams.

“You cannot encourage people to stand up for themselves enough. I love helping children by telling them stories that revolve around them being good enough, just the way they are.” said Susan Bagdach, founder of the intercultural Women and Girls Health Center IFMGZ HOLLA e.V.

Good Education for Girls in Rwanda

Plan International wants to ensure that every girl completes at least nine years of quality education. Completing a quality education is the right of every child. Being denied an education strips girls of the choice to decide their own future. Through education, we can support wider girls’ rights, gender equality and long-term poverty eradication. An educated girl is less likely to marry and to have children whilst she is still a child, more likely to be literate, healthy and survive into adulthood, and more likely to reinvest her income back into her family, community and country.

Beautiful and motivational…
