It’s International Day of the Girl Child 2023! 🎉👧 . At She Learns Here, we’re on a mission to empower women and girls in Nigeria with the digital skills they need to rock their lives and businesses. 🚀💼
This year’s theme is “Invest in Girls’ Rights: Our Leadership, Our Well-being,” and we couldn’t agree more! 🙌
This year, at a time when we are seeing a range of movements and actions to curtail girls’ and women’s rights and roll back progress on gender equality, we see particularly harsh impacts on girls. From maternal health care and parenting support for adolescent mothers, to digital and life skills training; from comprehensive sexuality education to survivor support services and violence prevention programmes; there is an urgent need for increased attention and resourcing for the key areas that enable girls to realize their rights and achieve their full potential.
Responding to girls’ calls for change, the global community must move beyond reaffirming commitments and invest boldly in the action needed to make that change. When we pay attention, we see that, already, many girls are championing solutions and change in their communities. Together with our government and civil society partners, UNICEF envisions a world where girls have space to shape government policy and spending to inform the rules and norms by which businesses should operate, and to direct the priorities for new research and innovations. These examples should not be novelties, but the norm.

But here’s the deal, folks – we need YOUR help to make a real impact. Our immediate goal is to set up a Digital Skills Hub in Ibadan, where women and girls have access to digital skills training, technology, and mentoring all in one location 💪✨
Imagine a world where every girl has the chance to shine, where their dreams become reality, and they take charge of their own success. 🌠
That’s what we’re all about, and it’s where YOU come in. 🤝
