ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus talks exclusively to AP on UNICEF's International Day of the Girl Child about the challenges girls face and promoting girl's empowerment. โIโve been surrounded by women, strong women for a long time,โ Ulvaeus said, speaking about the need to empower female voices ahead of Sundayโs International Day of the Girl Child. With few exceptions their powers rest on cultures, religions and ideologies that suppress women.โUlvaeus said he was inspired to write about the need to support International Day of the Girl Child.
