On this International Day of the Girl, we keep all of our girls in hearts and minds. We honor them as the future Educators, Leaders, and Mothers who will empower entire nations to be better; to do better. 

We encourage them as the next generation of advocates and change-makers in their families and communities. Making sure our girls are healty and safe is our task as a worldwide team. Through education and self-defense they become more powerful each day.

As parts of a whole, girls cannot be neglected or pushed aside any longer, and it is up to us to ensure this doesn't happen. That girls have access to school, training, and safety of their bodies is of the utmost importance. For, without safety, empowerment for women can never happen.

We stand together proudly against systemic sexism around the globe. We link arms and protest against Sexual and Gender Based Violence. We advocate and give access to clean water, school books, and uniforms. We keep striving to guide young women and future world leaders to a better place in life, so they can lead us to do the same.

"If you educate a man you educate an individual but if you educate a woman you educate a whole nation"
- Dr. James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey,  ​1875–1927.

This is our mission as women, men, mothers and fathers. This is the mission of Stella's Girls.
