The Girls Coalition Challenge asks girls to take one of 11 challenges. It starts by teaching girls to compliment each other based on their skills, knowledge and kindness instead of looks or clothes. It also discusses making education a priority, helping others, and being creative!
Girls Learn International asks girls why it's important to have a Day Of the Girl! Why do you think they do?
