Good Shepherd organizes campaign for Day of the Girl
Good Shepherd Asia Pacific has organized a regional campaign to advocate for girls during the Day of the Girl campaign. It involves schools and social services agencies across each of the Good Shepherd units in Asia Pacific. The campaign starts October 1 and runs through Human Rights Day on December 10.
The Day of the Girl campaign offers the Good Shepherd Asia Pacific units a way to connect with one another as a region. The nine units leading the campaign are Northeast Asia, Philippines/Japan; East Asia; Sri Lanka/Pakistan; Nepal; Singapore/Malaysia; Indonesia; South West India; Central East India/Nepal.
Objectives of the campaign were born of the COVID19 lockdowns, which have resulted in massive numbers of children attending virtual classes. This has raised the need for children, and especially girls, to know safety rules so they might avoid exploitation when using digital platforms. (See related story on page 18)
The international Day of the Girl campaign also aims to create awareness of the human rights of the girl child and introduce support systems and safe spaces for girls to express joys and successes, as well as challenges and violations to their human rights.
Day of the Girl events
Good Shepherd units throughout the Asia Pacific region will lead other IDG events and activities, including a logo competition and theme song composition, prayer writing and recitation, a social media hashtag campaign #myvoiceourfuture, poster making competition, infographic designs, school outreach to social services, outreach to men (dads, brothers, boys), and gratitude body prayer movement.
