The Beijing Declaration was the first to draw attention to the rights of not only women, but also girls at this level.

In December 2011, the UN General Assembly decided that October 11 would be the International Day of the Girl Child.

By drawing attention to the proper attitude to the rights of girls at any age, in the future it will be possible to overcome gender differences that affect half of humanity, the UN says.

“Investing in the empowerment of adolescent girls protects their rights today and promises a fairer and more prosperous future in which half of humanity is an equal partner in addressing challenges related to climate change, politics, the economy or health“, – noted in the UN.

The girl created an organization Women Risewhere artists draw attention to the protection of girls’ education through art.

In particular, the girl made a collection of 10 thousand tokens (NFT) and put them up for sale. The collected funds will be directed to the main goal of the company.

“As I looked through the pages of the various NFTs, one thing was so clear: this is a boy’s field. I only talked to a few women“, – said Abidi.

Earlier we reported that two female musicians were killed in Zaporizhzhia as a result of an attack by the Russian Federation.
