<p>There is no Girl Effect Art Installation in DFID offices. The “GIRL” letters were
commissioned as a backdrop for Girl Summit 2014, an event hosted by the UK Government
and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to help bring an end to female genital
mutilation and child, early and forced marriage. They were also used as a backdrop
for #YouthforChange, a youth event held at the Department for International Development
on 19 July to kick-start a youth movement on girls’ rights.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>Nike Foundation made a substantive financial contribution to the Girl Summit,
including providing funds to cover the cost of the “GIRL” letters. These continue
to be displayed in the entrance hall of the Department for International Development
as a way of maintaining momentum from the Girl Summit and raising awareness of the
need to end FGM and CEFM within a generation.</p><p> </p>
