Global Girls’ Summit 2022

Equal Power Now

To mark International Day of the Girl 2022, Nigeria will host the fifth annual Global Girls’ Summit, a multicultural, intergenerational event where girls interact, share challenges and call for action towards gender equality.

This year, they will be calling for powerholders to uphold their right to political participation when they meet in Abuja on 12 and 13 October.

Girls care about political issues. From education and poverty to the environment and climate change, girls want to be recognised and valued as drivers of lasting political change.

But girls do not underestimate the challenges they face. When girls try to intervene, they are underestimated, tokenised and silenced.

They are discouraged from taking part in politics because of both their age and gender. As young people, they’re dismissed as being too immature, as girls they are held back by gender stereotypes and inequalities.

To mark International Day of the Girl 2022, girls from around the world will be attending the Global Girls’ Summit taking place in Abuja on 12 and 13 October, alongside leaders, influencers, political figures, activists and the media to demand Equal Power Now.
