October 11 is the International Day of the Girl, and for all of us at MAIA, this day and the entire month is a key moment to come together to raise up Girl Pioneers and all girls’ voices, even more so this year as it marks the anniversary of the new installations of the MAIA Impact School and the 10th commemoration of this international day.
Despite the increasing attention on issues that matter to girls, investments in girls’ rights remain limited, and they continue to confront a myriad of challenges to fulfilling their potential. This is especially true for girls and women of Indigenous ethnicity, which make up one of the largest portions of the population in Guatemala.
Day in and day out, Girl Pioneers demonstrate that they are capable of drawing incredible talent-driven trajectories and succeeding. When they have access to education and empowerment opportunities, they will ignite transformational change.
Girl Pioneers are imagining and innovating the way ahead, evidencing the power of the Girl Effect. When one girl is empowered to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others to do so, too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, her community, and her country.
Girl Pioneers’ time is now and they are ready for a decade of acceleration, shaping the world they want for ALL girls and women.
For us, it is time to stand accountable – with and for girls – harnessing the power of community and collective action to support girls around the world to claim their rights, advance their education, and unlock their boundless potential.
