Every year on October 11, the International Day of the Girl Child is observed. It is a day dedicated to empowering girls and elevating their voices. International Day of the Girl Child, observed on March 8, honors adolescent girls by promoting the creation of greater possibilities for them, much like its adult counterpart, International Women's Day, which is observed on March 8. 

The goal of this day is to reduce gender-based problems that young girls encounter worldwide, such as underage marriages, inadequate educational opportunities, violence, and prejudice. Scholaroo has resources for scholarships from all over the world for young females to assist their future in an effort to end such discrimination.
