The founder of Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) and the Kibera School for Girls, Kennedy Odede, writes in our blog:
“The International Day of the Girl provides a vital opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made globally for girls, and the distance we still need to travel. This year we witnessed unprecedented coverage of the many issues that girls face. Powerful public discussions have emerged in influential worldwide institutions; from the UN, to college campuses, to social media, the fight for the rights of women and girls is becoming more pressing and imperative.” ~ Kennedy Odede
