Girls have something to say. It's time the world listens. Every October 11, on International #DayOfTheGirl, companies, organizations, and celebrities talk about what girls in the world want and need. But instead of talking about girls, She's the First organized the Girls Get Loud campaign to give girls a platform to speak for themselves.
In this episode, you'll hear from six inspiring young girls around the globe as they share their views on different pressing issues and what they're doing in their communities to create a better and safer world for girls. Special guests include Shonal Rath, Viktoria Never, Charity Chipopola, Jayati Mody, Peace Iyabo, and Zubeda Khamis.
