Girl Guides of Canada -Guides du Canada officially endorsed Plan Canada’s Because I Am A Girl campaign to enable Guiding Units across Canada to learn about speaking out and taking action. In support of their initiative to make September 22nd the International Day of the Girl, we asked our Members and fans on our Facebook Fan Page to complete the following sentence:
“We Need a Day of the Girl Because ___________ .”
Here is a sampling of the responses we received. What would you have said?
