Celebration of International Day of the Girl Child

Date: 10th October 2026
Venue: Conference Room, GJIMT Campus

The Women Empowerment Committee of GJIMT organised an informative and interactive programme to commemorate the International Day of the Girl Child. The event aimed to create awareness about gender equality, girls’ rights, self-confidence, freedom of choice, and the importance of providing every girl with equal opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.

The programme began with the screening of an informative video titled “Weaving Hope,” which portrayed the journey of a young woman challenging traditional gender barriers in a weaving village in Rajasthan. The video highlighted the significance of education, self-identity, courage, and independent decision-making in empowering girls and women.

The screening was followed by an awareness discussion on child marriage and the protection of girls’ rights. Students were sensitised to the challenges faced by girls due to early marriage, limited educational opportunities, and gender-based discrimination.

An engaging balloon activity was conducted to encourage confidence, spontaneity, and self-expression. Activity slips were placed inside balloons, and participants popped the balloons, picked their respective slips, and performed the tasks mentioned on them.

Another interactive activity, “Favourite Month – Celebrating the Qualities of Friends,” focused on peer appreciation and positive relationships. Students selected their favourite month and received slips containing positive qualities associated with their selections

The activities encouraged students to recognise one another’s strengths, express appreciation, strengthen friendships, and foster mutual respect and a sense of belonging.
