Celebrating International Children’s Day 2023 under the theme ”For Every Child, Every Right.”

As the world celebrates International Children’s Day on November 20th, the Girls Activist Youth Organization (GAYO) stands at the forefront, advocating for the rights of children worldwide. This year’s theme, “For Every Child, Every Right,” underscores GAYO’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background, enjoys their fundamental rights and freedoms.

Despite the progress made in upholding children’s rights, many children continue to face multifaceted challenges that hinder their growth, development, and access to their inherent rights. GAYO is steadfast in its dedication to amplifying the voices of children and championing their rights as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

GAYO recognizes that empowering girls is pivotal in fostering a more equitable society. The organization is committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by girls globally, including barriers to education, discrimination, gender-based violence, and limited access to healthcare. On this International Children’s Day, GAYO renews its commitment to creating a world where every girl child is empowered, protected, and given equal opportunities to thrive.

GAYO believes that every child deserves access to quality education, providing them with the tools to shape their future. The organization strives to break down barriers that hinder educational opportunities for girls, advocating for inclusive and equitable schooling systems worldwide.

Moreover, GAYO remains devoted to combating gender-based violence and discrimination. Through education, awareness campaigns, and advocacy, the organization aims to eradicate harmful practices and create safe spaces where children, especially girls, feel protected and valued.

GAYO emphasizes the importance of adequate healthcare services, nutrition, and sanitation for every child, advocating for policies that prioritize children’s well-being.

The organization also recognizes the immense potential and resilience of children in shaping a brighter future. GAYO encourages the active participation of children in decision-making processes that affect their lives, fostering a culture where their voices are heard and valued.

GAYO calls upon governments, policymakers, civil society, and individuals to join hands in upholding and safeguarding the rights of every child. Together, we can create a world where children grow up in an environment that nurtures their potential, protects their rights, and ensures their well-being.

In celebrating International Children’s Day 2023, GAYO reaffirms its dedication to championing the rights of every child, especially girls, and strives to create a world where every child’s rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled.
