In a virtual setting, the British Embassy in Cairo invited a young woman, 18-year-old Fatma Al Hefnawy, to step into the British Ambassador’s shoes, meeting with the Ambassador and embassy staff to learn about the work they do, in celebration of the International Day of the Girl.

The ‘GirlsTakeOver’ initiative is organized by Plan International, in partnership with the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MoSS) and the Canadian Embassy in Cairo. On this day, embassies, ministries and international organizations host young women to give them an opportunity to experience leadership positions in an effort to promote young women’s right to leadership, showcase opportunities they have awaiting them and provide them with a platform to be heard.
