The correct answer is: C. girl child.
The United Nations declared 1993 as the International Year of the Girl Child. The year was dedicated to promoting the rights and well-being of girls around the world. The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on December 17, 1991, to proclaim 1993 as the International Year of the Girl Child. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 147 in favor, 0 against, and 1 abstention. The resolution called on all member states to take action to promote the rights and well-being of girls, and to ensure that they have equal access to education, health care, and other essential services.
The International Year of the Girl Child was a success in raising awareness of the challenges facing girls around the world. It also led to a number of concrete initiatives to improve the lives of girls, such as the establishment of the Girl Child Education Fund and the Girl Child Initiative.
However, there is still much work to be done to ensure that girls have the same opportunities as boys. According to the UN, girls are still more likely to be out of school, to be married off as children, and to be victims of violence. The UN is calling for a renewed commitment to the rights of girls, and for concrete action to address the challenges they face.
