On December 19, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 66/170, proclaiming October 11 the International Day of Girls and recognizing their rights.

In 2022, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the International Day of Girls.

A solemn event dedicated to the International Day of Girls, organized by the Chairman of the Women's Council of the University M.Abbasova, was held at the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage from early morning.  

This event was attended by the first Vice-rector J.Eltazarov, the staff, as well as the teaching staff of the university.

“Over the past 10 years, issues of importance to girls have received significantly more attention at all levels, and girls have more opportunities to have their voices heard. The empowerment of women and girls and the promotion of gender equality are crucial to accelerating sustainable development. The elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and girls is not only one of the fundamental human rights, but also has multiple benefits in all other areas of development.” - noted the first Vice-rector J.Eltazarov.

During the event, certificates were awarded to foreign students, as well as students who helped in the organization of this event.
