The Summit will bring together high-profile speakers, politicians, and – most importantly – girls from around the world to tell their stories and to tell us what they need to succeed! Speakers include:

• Inspiring girls and young women from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, telling their stories of girl empowerment and what they think “Girls Can”
• Kim Chakanetsa, journalist and presenter of The Conversation on the BBC World Service(moderator)
• Irena Andrassy, Deputy Head of Cabinet, Commissioner Mimica
• Barbara Pesce Monteiro, Director of the UN/UNDP Brussels Representation Office

The European Week of Action 2017 will raise awareness of the daily reality of girls across the world, particularly in the fields of protection from violence, recognition of sexual and reproductive rights, leadership, education and employment. It will highlight the key role girls themselves play as drivers of change and development, and the importance of engaging them in decisions which affect them.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to all of the week’s activities. More details will follow soon, and for a full agenda for the week, visit www.europeanweekofactionforgirls.org.
