A World at School’s five things you can do on International Day of the Girl Child, 9 October

A World At School, the education platform of Theirworld, is marking International Day of the Girl Child with an article on the five things you can do help the nearly 30 million girls who do not go to school.

From signing the #UpForSchool petition to donating to the first child marriage-free zone in Pakistan, these are some of the easiest ways for you to get involved in the campaign for global education.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Sarah Brown emphasised the urgent need for action, saying ‘International Day of the Girl exists because everyday girls are abused, mistreated and discriminated against and the world needed a prompt to put a stop to it….I hate that we need this day. So let’s work to abolish it.’
