Additionally, it aims to explore ways to increase the resources available to girls while addressing the various challenges that significantly impact their lives.
The takeover is a part of the global GirlsTakeOver campaign, a signature activity of Plan International. Plan International implements this activity around the world, including Bangladesh, every year on the International Day of the Girl on 11 October as part of its Girls Get Equal campaign, which calls for increased investment in girls’ empowerment, activism and leadership.
Throughout the month of October this year, Plan International Bangladesh is organizing GirlsTakeover in governance, diplomacy, corporate sectors and other key positions across the country to advocate for gender equality, freedom and representation for girls and young women.
