Crossroads is inviting you to our biggest event of the year; the International Day of the Girl Breakfast! We hope to see you on Wednesday, October 9th at the Carlu in Toronto.
We are now sold out! Thank you to all our registrants, sponsors and supporters.
First celebrated in 2012, the Breakfast raises awareness of the challenges millions of girls around the world face daily through gender-based violence, poverty, and the denial of basic human rights. Your participation and generous donations support the Girls’ Empowerment Programs in the countries where Crossroads operates.
hear from world-renowned activist hala al-karib
This year, we are honoured to welcome Hala Al-Karib, a prominent Sudanese pro-democracy and feminist activist, as our guest speaker.
Hala has dedicated more than 20 years of her life to the empowerment of women and girls, with a focus on those in conflict and post-conflict areas.
She is recognized as an expert in Human Rights and Women’s Studies, with multiple research initiatives and prominent publications to her name. Her thought leadership is regularly sought after by international media, including CNN, Newsweek Magazine and Al Jazeera. This year, CNN named Hala as one of the world’s top Defenders of Gender Equality. In 2023, the UN Security Council invited Hala to address the Assembly in the debate on Women, Peace and Security.
Based in Kampala, Uganda, Hala is currently the Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA), which plays a vital role in promoting women’s and girls’ rights and empowerment. SIHA is an important partner of Crossroads.
