The European Week of Action for Girls is an annual week-long event which aims to ensure that girls’ empowerment is promoted and their rights are protected and fulfilled in the EU’s external action, through adequate policies, funding and programs. The 2015 Week of Action featured a series of activities which look at what the freshly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mean for girls. This year’s edition took place under the patronage of the Luxembourg Presidency of the Council of the EU and the European Parliament.
Countdown 2015 Europe partners supported a range of activities, including an animation “Goals for Girls Post-2015: Win, lose or draw?”
