STATEMENT FROM THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE SADC PARLIAMENTARY FORUM ON THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD 11TH OCTOBER 2023

Dear Colleagues and Partners,

The SADC Parliamentary Forum presents its congenial compliments to its Member Parliaments and partners and is pleased to keenly commemorate the International Day of the Girl Child on this 11th  October 2023.

On this day, the Forum recognises the significant importance of empowering girl children in Africa through adequate food, shelter, health care and education to ensure that they become the leaders of tomorrow. The Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 which is premised in large part on gender equality also implies that girl children must be treated equally, and without discrimination with regards to boys who are often offered better chances and opportunities in life.
