Madam Speaker, Claims · 86 wordsas we approach October 11, the International Day of the Girl Child, we must remember the devastating impact of armed conflict on girls and women around the world. UNICEF estimates that more than 473 million children live in conflict-affected areas.¹ Girls in these countries are nearly two and a half times more likely to be out of school.² They face sexual violence, trafficking, forced marriage and displacement, often without essential supports. However, girls are not simply victims. They are courageous individuals, leaders and agents of peace. The ask · 39 wordsCanada’s international development policy must protect these girls, support their education, help survivors and ensure their voices are heard during peace processes. On this International Day of the Girl Child, their rights, safety and dreams must remain a priority.
