Today we celebrate International Day of the Girl Child 11^th October. The day created to recognize girls’ rights and unique challenges girls face around the world.

Let’s Raise Super Girls to be smart, confident and courageous reducing poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination.

My name is Karen Tyrrell, award winning children’s author, advocate, teacher and parent.

I’m passionate about empowering girls to live their strongest and most fulfilling lives. Empowering our girls will enable them to empower others.

The best way to Raise Super Girls is to start programs at home and school. Parents, teachers and the community must lend a hand.

10 Ways to Raise Super Girls

1. Invest in programs for girls’ health, safety, education and rights. Let’s empower girls to reach their dreams and build better lives for themselves and their communities.
2. Educate our girls to be independent thinkers. Make education the driving force of change. Educate our educators and parents to break down gender barriers and gender stereotypes starting with gender diverse toys and games. Promote gender equality.
3. Immerse girls with positive role models in the family and the community. Mighty girls who are strong, independent problem solvers and decision makers.
4. Expect girls to achieve excellent results at school and in their careers … and they will. Empower girls to do great things.
5. Foster girl’s self-worth, self-esteem and self-conference. Instil a strong sense of self-belief that girls can do anything.
6. Nurture a positive body image so girls are comfortable in their own skin. Encourage girls to be active risk takers enjoying the outdoors.
7. Encourage girls to study STEM subjects at school: Science, Technology, Engineering and Encourage girls to pursue careers in STEM.
