Since 2012, 11th October has been adopted and officially declared by the United Nations as the International Day of the Girl; an event dedicated to encouraging support for, and promoting the empowerment of a bright new generation of women. Launched by Plan International, the initiative aims to bring global attention to the oftentimes inequality, sometimes invisible plight, and all too recurrent discriminatory crises faced by millions of girls around the world.

In celebratory support, we’ve compiled a selection of images of the beautiful, young and inspirational faces at the very heart of day’s cause.
