Girls aren’t just surviving, they’re leading! From climate disasters and violence to conflict zones, girls are not just survivors — they’re leading the way. It’s time the world saw them as they are: leaders! @preventgbvnet.bsky.social @unwomen.bsky.social @goodschoolsguideuk.bsky.social

It’s time we 📢amplify, not overshadow girls’ voices. Every celebrated woman leader was once a girl with a voice, a dream and potential. She rose because someone listened, believed, protected, and created space for her to grow, heal, and lead. Let’s listen, uplift, and stand beside them.

Girl leaders flourish when their unique personalities, cultures, lived experiences, and boundless potential are celebrated. When we recognise girls as changemakers and nurture them with education, mentorship, and safe, inclusive spaces—they rise with hope, ready to lead even through crises.

Let girls bloom The girl I am stands tall—empowered, radiant, fearless, and free from the shadows of violence. Imagine a world where every girl blossoms with the same strength, leading change and rising above every challenge. Together, we can make this vision bloom. #IDGC2025 #GirlsOnTheFrontlines
