These performances are all part of the charity's Day of The Girl event series, coinciding with the UN's International Day of the Girl Child. Through a celebration of young, woman-identifying talent, the series aims to create a moment that highlights the specific challenges girls and young women face around the world, and to raise vital funding to help War Child protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children affected by conflict.

The event series' headline sponsor is YouTube Music- an app made for music listening on top of the magic of YouTube: making the world of music easier to explore and more personalised than ever.  Whether you want to listen, watch or discover - all the ways music moves you can be found in one place - not just music videos, but official albums, singles, remixes, live performances, covers and hard-to-find music you can only get on YouTube. As part of the event series, War Child and the YouTube Music Studios will also be hosting a music industry day in celebration of Day of the Girl on Tuesday 10th October. More details on the event will be announced soon. 

Charlotte Nimmo, Head of Fundraising Engagement at War Child said: "We are thrilled to launch Day of The Girl 2023. We are grateful for the support of all the musicians who will help us in amplifying the importance of the issues spotlighted by this event series. This collaborative effort will also raise vital funds to support War Child's work. Girls and young women living in conflict zones endure impossible circumstances. Through provisions such as aid, education, and psychosocial support, War Child empowers young women who refuse to be defined by the horrors of war."

This year, Dice is the official ticket provider who will be donating all of the booking fees to War Child UK. Alongside YouTube Music as headline sponsor, Dice as official ticketing partner, DORK are supporting the 2023 event series as media partners, with Communion as promotions partner. 

Lizzie Dickson, Head of Label Relations at YouTube UK said: "At YouTube, we celebrate and champion women year-round, on and offline, so it's with great pleasure that we're supporting War Child once again to support their vital work in raising money to support girls and young women around the world."
