Celebrate the International Day of the Girl with us!

The female ambassadors in Ireland pay tribute to the girls of Ireland and around the world with this uplifting video! (The International Day of the Girl falls on Sunday October 11th.)

To mark this occasion, 15 female ambassadors posted to Ireland from different countries and continents wish to convey a special message to their younger sisters - the girls of Ireland and around the world.

They do so to give due recognition to the International Day of the Girl, as well as to its main protagonists – young females.

Inspired by their own experiences, they wish to share a message of self-acceptance, self-belief, and self-respect to the women of the future.

The video, addressed to girls age 10-16, opens with this year’s IDG motto ‘My Voice, Our Equal Future’. It concludes with the participating ambassadors sharing photos of their younger selves.

Developed and produced by the Embassy of Poland, the video features the female heads of the diplomatic missions of the following countries: Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Greece, Nigeria, Palestine, Poland, Romania, South Africa, and Ukraine.
