Since 2012, 11 October has been marked as the International Day of the Girl. The day aims to highlight and address the needs and challenges girls face, while promoting girls' empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights.

Crown Princess Mary:

 

"Today is a very special day. All over the world, we are paying attention to girls' rights, because it is the United Nations International Girl's Day.
That is why I would like to introduce you to 14-year-old Farzana. She just visited me at home at Amalienborg, where we got a good talk about what it is like to be Farzana and grow up in Dhaka. Since she was 11 years old, she has been volunteering to combat child marriage and girls' right to attend school in the slum area of Citi Polli. Her commitment must be acknowledged and I have the deepest respect for her willpower and surplus in a reality that can be both harsh and unfair.

Farzana gives hope to many."
