Celebrating Girls
Amplifying Voices. Inspiring Change
As we continue to celebrate girls in observance of #internationaldayofthegirl, UNICEF together with UNFPA , the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Health’s Adolescent Health Unit hosted a special tour for the winners of the Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) Symposium Impromptu Speaking Competition at UN House Guyana
Jada Felix, Khristha Itwaru, and Blessings Roberts, students of West Demerara, Brickdam, and Bygeval Secondary Schools along with their teachers, explored several UN agencies including UNDP, WFP, UNFPA, UNICEF, IOM, and the Office of the Resident Coordinator.
During the tour, they gained first-hand insights into the daily work of the UN in advancing sustainable development and promoting the rights of children and adolescents.
The students also had the opportunity to share their stories, concerns, and ideas on how the UN and key partners can strengthen support for adolescents across Guyana ensuring their voices help shape the future.
UNICEF Guyana and partners remain committed to listening to girls, amplifying their voices, and investing in their leadership, because when girls lead, everyone moves forward.
