The Day Of The Girl shows are more than just performances; they are a lifeline for girls and women surviving war. Gender inequality escalates to alarming levels in areas affected by crisis. Those assigned female at birth are at a 20% higher risk of child marriage and are 2.5 times more likely to be out of school. 1 in 5 girls and women suffer sexual violence and often can’t access healthcare. This has devastating impacts on their health, wellbeing and their future. Girls and women didn’t start these wars, yet they are paying the price. That’s why the Day Of The Girl shows are vital.

Taking place around the UN’s International Day Of The Girl Child, the shows highlight War Child’s work protecting, educating, and advocating for the rights of girls and women amidst the turmoil of war.

Clare Sanders-Wright, Live Music Lead at War Child said: “Thank you to all the supports and headliners who are backing War Child through Day Of The Girl. The concerts will again prove to be an incredible showcase of female identifying artists who are not just brilliant musicians and performers but also taking a stand to support women and girls facing conflict and war.

“We are also delighted to be hosting four Day Of The Girl panel events this year. Artists, experts and content creators will be there to engage with fans and those already working within the creative industries alike, to help inspire and support the next generation of women within the music and wider industries succeed.”

The event’s headline sponsor is YouTube Music, an app made for music listening on top of the magic of YouTube: making the world of music easier to explore and more personalised than ever.

Lizzie Dickson, Head of YouTube Music UK said: “We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with War Child for their annual Day Of The Girl gigs. We endeavour to celebrate and champion women artists on and off our platform year-round- so it’s a privilege to be part of this series of events which showcases exciting new female talent as well as raising critical funding to support girls and young women around the world.”

Shows will also be part-sponsored by Women of YouTube, as part of their global events series YouTube Creator Collective, which will see the Women of YouTube creator community invited to come together and join our shows.
