Bear Creek Park 13750 88 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3W 2L1
The International Day of the Girl was formally declared as a day
to promote female rightsby the United Nations in 2011. The
declaration of this day was a Canadian initiative andresolution.
This candle light vigil will be held to honour those girls whose
lives were lostdue to injustices and gender inequality issues.
Globally and locally, females have been
made victims of honour killings, female feticide, societal
discrimination, culturalattitudes, and familial issues. The deaths
of these girls and women have simply occurreddue to the fact that
they were born as females in male-dominated societies. Let us
come
together to honour those lives that have been lost and to
advocate human equality.
