Girls Speak Out 2025: Bold, Diverse, and Unstoppable

Thank You for Joining Girls Speak Out 2025!

On 10 October 2025, Girls Speak Out returned to the ECOSOC Chamber at UN Headquarters for a hybrid, advocacy-focused convening co-designed and co-led by girls. Under the theme "We are Here: Bold, Diverse, and Unstoppable – Demanding Action for Girls' Rights," girl leaders joined Member States, UN agencies, and civil society in an intergenerational dialogue grounded in shared accountability and transformative action.

Honoring the 30th anniversaries of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the World Programme of Action for Youth, the program featured two townhall panels: "Girls on the Frontline of Crisis – Protection, Peace and Power" and "From Margins to Power – Girls Defying Discrimination and Reclaiming Identity." The event concluded with reflections and recommitments to action from both girls and policymakers.

This event was hosted by the Working Group on Girls in collaboration with UNICEF, UN Women, UNFPA, and the Permanent Missions of Canada, Costa Rica, Peru, and Türkiye to the United Nations.
