Plan International Ghana, a child cen­tred NGO marked this year's Interna­tional Day of the Girl (IDG) in Accra last Friday with a call on the public to prioritise the protection of young girls.

October 11 is globally rec­ognised as the IDG, a day dedicat­ed to celebrating the potential of girls and advocating their rights.

This observance highlights the need for equal opportunities and support, enabling girls to fully participate in social, economic, and political spheres.

It also serves as a reminder of the barriers they face and the global commitment to empowering them to reach their full potential.
