International Day of the Girl Child

The United Nations is marking the fourth annual International Day of the Girl Child with a special focus on teenaged girls and  the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Seventeen-year-old Taylor participated at  a UN event to celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child.

IN: "If girls' rights...
OUT: ...to be achieved."
