WOW Day of the Girl 2020
Watch Youth Activism: Making it Happen
Celebrate 2020's International Day of the Girl by joining WOW - Women of the World in conversation with three young activists who are changing the world. Tune in above at 12pm on Sunday 11 October (just click 'Watch now') to hear WOW's Founder Jude Kelly explore life as a girl activist with 20-year-old Amika George, Founder of Free Periods campaign; 17-year-old Hayat Muse, youth activist and co-founder of Kow iyo Labo; and 16-year-old Heba Ahmed, a human rights and anti-racist activist who was responsible for 15,000 people attending the Black Lives Matter protest in Manchester earlier this year.
What does it mean to call yourself an activist? Should young people have to be taking up the mantle of campaigning? And how do you protect yourself online if you're a girl challenging injustice?
This fascinating conversation brings together three trailblazing young women in a free online event to explore what it means to be an activist in 2020.
