Plan to Observe World Population Day
On 11 July 2009, people around the world will be observing the 20th World Population Day in different ways. This year's theme is a chance to build awareness of the importance of educating girls to a wide range of development issues, including poverty, human rights and gender equality.
There are many ways to promote this theme:
Consider inviting local celebrities to help spread the message.
Organize events to generate widespread attention about the importance of girls' education.
Spark discussion with seminars, conferences and debates. Host essay and poster contests.
Work with community groups to create plays and soap operas.
Encourage women and girls to speak or write about the impact of education in their own life. The messages can come to life when different people from different circumstances share their own experiences and knowledge. A full list of suggested activities is available to inspire your own planning.
