MUMBAI: Plan India, the child-centred community development organisation, as a part of it's 'Because I am a Girl' (BIAAG) campaign is celebrating the first ever 'International Day the Girl Child' by illuminating iconic monuments in colour pink.

Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb and Purana Quila in Delhi, and Charminar in Hyderabad will be illuminated pink on October 11 to create awareness and mobilize support for girls' rights.

A historic milestone for girls' rights was reached when the United Nations recently declared October 11as the International Day of the Girl Child. Plan led the global advocacy efforts for this special day to influence global leaders and all duty bearers to ensure effective implementation of programs & policies promoting equal rights and opportunities for girls.

Bhagyashri Dengle, Plan India's Executive Director said: "The illumination of landmark monuments is a symbolic nationwide call for all to join hands together to support girls' rights. A girl in India faces barriers at every stage of her life including violations of her right to get access to quality education, proper healthcare, and protection from abuse and exploitation."
