National Girl Child Day on 30th September, 2006 was celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm and festivity throughout Bangladesh. For the first time since its inception, the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs hosted several programs to highlight the importance of girl children. Our latest information suggests that more than 800 locations in the country held rallies, essay and art competitions, debates, tree planting ceremonies, discussions, parents meetings, and media events. All of these events were organized by our over 80,000 animators and the villagers across 64 districts. We also designed special publications and posters to honor this momentous occasion.
In addition, The National Girls Child Advocacy Forum along with its NGO partners observed the Day at over 500 places with due importance and festivity.
