Here is her post: “Every year, the International Day of The Girl Child serves as a reminder of our progress and the path that lies ahead. The girl child embodies immeasurable potential, and today, we celebrate her.

“To all the stakeholders in this noble cause, let us acknowledge the critical role we play in nurturing these young minds. Together, we must ensure that the rights of every girl child are protected, including her right to quality education. It’s not just about imparting knowledge; it’s about laying the cornerstone upon which dreams are constructed and destinies are forged.

“To every girl child out there, know this: your dreams are not just figments of your imagination; they are valid aspirations waiting to be realized. Your voice has the ability to shape  lives. Don’t lose it.

“May our efforts today create a legacy of empowered women, strong and compassionate, ready to make a difference in our world. Happy International Day of the Girl Child.”
