The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead

Every girl can make change—by helping, caring, and believing she can make the world a little better every day.

International Day of the Girl Child • October 11, 2025

The world can feel messy sometimes—climate problems, people arguing online, fake news, too much pressure. But even in all that noise, many girls are doing amazing things.

Some help classmates understand lessons. Some speak up when something’s unfair. Some take care of their families, help clean the community, or share kind messages online. These girls may not wear capes, but they’re real heroes in quiet ways.

That’s what this year’s theme means: “The girl I am, the change I lead.” It’s about knowing who you are, being proud of it, and using your own voice to make things better. You don’t have to wait to be older or richer or famous—you can start now, right where you are.

Because real change doesn’t always start in big meetings or parades. Sometimes, it starts with one girl who says, “I can help.”
