Advocacy Campaigns

The days we campaign, and why

We build a campaign around each of these days with other local organisations, on girls' rights in education and on the things that get in the way of their wellbeing.

To advance girls' rights in education, and the other issues that affect their wellbeing, GGI runs campaigns on the calendar days that carry weight locally.

We partner with other stakeholders to build each campaign around the theme of the day: Menstrual Health Awareness Day, the Day of the African Child, the International Day of Education, International Literacy Day and the 16 Days of Activism among them.
