Michelle will travel with Jenna Bush Hager, one of two daughters of George W. Bush and Michelle’s predecessor, Laura Bush. Mrs Hager is a correspondent for the Today programme, an NBC news and talk show.

Michelle said on the Today Show: “A year ago today, the Obama foundation launched the Girls Opportunity Alliance right here on the Today show.

“More than 98 million adolescent girls aren't in school, yet the evidence is clear: When girls get the opportunities they deserve, our whole world benefits.

“That's why we've been working to lift up grassroots leaders in organisations around the world who improve girls' lives every day.”

The International Day of the Girl is a day of observance declared by the United Nations that 'aims to highlight and address the needs and challenges girls face, while promoting girls' empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights,' according to the UN.
