We envision a world where girls are given the opportunity to develop critical thinking and research skills, and to be able to explore real world issues with focus, precision and intellect through speech and debate.
The National Girls Speech and Debate Championship (NGSDC) is an educational program created to elevate and bring to the fore, girls in senior high schools offering general arts, literature and other social sciences and give these students a platform to add their voice to society’s advancement, build confidence in public speaking and eloquently express their ideas through speech and debate.
Education liberates the intellect, unlocks the imagination and is fundamental for self-respect. It is the key to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a progressive, healthy society. Learning benefits every human being and should be available to all.
Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.
We’re Here to Support Them
