It's high time girls around the world got some extra recognition, and Facebook is working to help make that happen.
Facebook has created a special profile picture frame in honor of Oct. 11, which marks International Day of the Girl — a day meant to inspire people to work toward advancing the rights and future opportunities of young women while celebrating their talents and accomplishments.
SEE ALSO:YouTube uses its massive platform to help every girl get an educationWhen users log on to the network Wednesday, users are prompted with a "Today's girls, Tomorrow's Leaders" notification, which explains International Day of the Girl. It will also present the option to add a celebratory frame to their profile pictures.

Facebook also offered a frame on International Day of the Girl last year, which was a bottom border doodle of a girl drawn on lined paper.
In the past Facebook has unveiled profile filters and frames to celebrate holidays and other notable moments, like the LGBTQ Pride rainbow filter that was added after the U.S. Supreme Court ended gay marriage bans in a historic ruling.
