In a release, Star Education informed that this year the day is focused on uniting adolescent girls with advocates for their rights, including UN leaders, NGOs, businesses, and Governments.
STAR Education conducted a short yet empowering activity in line with the theme.

This day was celebrated to remind each one of us about the importance of the girl child" .
