November 20, 2022

An event celebrating the United Nations International Day of the Girl was held today [Nov 20] offering activities including robotics, boxing, rugby, chess, kickboxing, fencing, football, cricket and more.

A spokesperson said, “We’re pleased to be able to put this event on again after a 2 year break. Many girls and families enjoy the afternoon and love to try new activities. Although girls globally have made great strides, Covid has put back many education goals and we have seen an increase in gender-based abuse and violence here in Bermuda. It’s important for community events to show support for girls and some of the unique challenges they face.”

The U.N. International Day of the Girl was created by UNICEF in 2012 to “highlight the struggles girls face globally.”
