The video shows young women from around the world meeting in St. Paul in an international summit to learn the leadership skills they need to change the world.

Girls International Forum is a girl-led organization, where girls learn leadership skills by taking direct action, including planning and facilitating our events. We are currently raising funds to host our second international summit.

Global Girls Day

Girls International Forum (GIF) created Global Girls Day as a way for more girls to learn about the issues facing girls all around the world. For two years, Girls International Forum has hosted a Global Girls Day event at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. For this event, Girl Summit Leaders (girls from our national planning team of girls) facilitated workshops on girls’ education, human trafficking, gender-based violence, and HIV/AIDS. Presenters from the Minnesota AIDS Project, Asian Media Access, TVByGirls, Civil Society, WATCH, and New Moon Magazine have all helped make Global Girls Day a great success!

The Girls Summit Leaders are currently developing a model for hosting a Global Girls Day event in your community! Please check back for more information.
