International Day Of The Girl Recap

Thank you to everyone who helped Days for Girls celebrate International Day Of The Girl this month!

This was a truly special opportunity to showcase how DfG mobilizers are using their voices to build a more equal future for girls – from U.S. advocacy volunteers rallying against the tampon tax, to Enterprise leaders taking a stand against menstrual shaming in Kenya. We hope their stories inspired you as much as they inspire us, every day.

We are particularly grateful to our partners at L. and KT by Knix for amplifying the DfG message far and wide (with help from eight amazing Instagram influencers), and for gifting us a portion of their sales proceeds from the weekend! We are so proud to walk alongside each of them in the movement for menstrual equity.
