Deadline: October 13, 2020
Submit your entry for the Graça Machel Trust International Day of the Girl Child 2020 Vlog Call. The Graça Machel Trust has an exciting and unique opportunity to share which will provide adolescent girls with a space for their voice to heard and amplified. This listening initiative hosted by the Graca Machel Trust aims to work with adolescent girls to have them reimagine a better world that is inspired by their own hopes and ambitions.
It will be from the energized and recognized efforts of these adolescent girls that the Trust will gain leadership on how they can build a more equitable world that is considerate of the struggles and aspirations of adolescent girls on the continent.
The Trust will achieve this through a listening series that will have adolescent girls speak about the kind of world which they wish to have established during and post COVID – 19. This will be done to cultivate a culture of agency amongst adolescent girls whereby they can claim their own destinies. They believe that this bottom – up approach will see national, sub – regional and continental stakeholders serve to support and uplift the call to actions and works of the adolescent girls rather than providing them with antidotes that are never fully reflective or considerate of the adolescent girls lived reality.
