We at AWLA join the world to amplify our voices to protect and empower the girl child, the missing link in the world equation, the hope for a bright and prosperous future
As we commemorate the 2025 International Day of the Girl Child, we invite governments, corporate bodies, industries and the private sector to partner with AWLA and join our mission to create a safe haven for the girl child. The theme “The girl I am, the change I lead: Girls on the frontlines of crisis” highlights the resilience and leadership of girls in navigating crises and driving change.
We believe that every girl deserves access to education, safety, and justice. Our goal is to empower girls to become agents of change, leading movements for gender equality, climate action, and social justice.
The African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA) is dedicated to protecting and promoting the rights, welfare, and interests of women and girls. Our mission is to create a world where women and girls can live free from indignity, unfettered access to justice, counseling, and empowerment.
Our AWLA Resource Centre/Shelter Project in Ora Village, Epe, Lagos, promises a beacon of hope for survivors of gender-based violence. This centre plans to provide a safe haven, counseling services, support and reintegration into society of survivors and fund a survivor project to support survivors of gender based violence from rescue to safety
As we commemorate this day today October 11, 2025, We call on decision-makers to invest in girls’ rights, education, and safety, and to prioritize their futures. Together, we can create a world where girls can thrive and reach their full potential.
On the road map to 2030 and 2063, Join us in our quest to end indignity to women and girls. Partner with AWLA to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most and link the missing link.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD
from all of us at AWLA!!!
