Tanzania marks International day of the Girl child for the first time, October 11th 2012
For the first time ever, the world will today, Thursday October 11th 2012 mark the International day of the Girl child.
The day was declared by the United Nations general assembly on December 19th 2011 following intensive lobbying by non profit organizations that felt there was need to set aside a day when the world can recognize girls’ rights while still reflecting on the unique challenges they face around the world.
