What is the International Day Of The Girl Child? International Day of the Girl Child is an international observance day declared by the United Nations on every eleventh day of October.It is also called the Day of the Girl and the International Day of the Girl . October 11 , 2012, was the first Day of the Girl. The observation supports more opportunity for girls and increases awareness of gender inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender. This sad inequality includes areas such as access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, and protection from discrimination, violence against women and unfree child marriage .
The celebration of the day also reflects the successful emergence of girls and young women as a distinct cohort in development policy, programming, campaigning and research.This year singer Beyonce released an amazing song with an incredible video that reflects the challenges that the girl child faces and has to overcome.The video to Beyonce's song "Freedom" has little girls who show the situations that girls have to overcome.This is indeed a song for the day of the girl child.Every girl child has the right to everything a boy child is entitled to especially education. The words to "Freedom' are a true reflection of this fight of the girl child.

Freedom! I can't move Freedom, cut me loose! Freedom! Freedom! Where are you? Cause I need freedom too! I break chains all by myself Won't let my freedom rot in hell Hey! I'ma keep running Cause a winner don't quit on themselves I'ma wade, I'ma wave through the waters Til the tide, "Don't move" I'ma riot, I'ma riot through your borders Call me bullet proof Love forgive me, I've been runnin' Runnin' blind in truth I'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow love Tell the deep I'm new I'm telling these tears, "Gonna fall away, fall away" May the last one burn into flames Freedom!
