On International Girls Day, successful women are inspiring young children to embrace girl power.

The Embrace Girls Foundation hosted their annual forum, Friday, in Hollywood to raise awareness for women’s rights and advocating for them globally.

7News’ Robbin Simmons was among the speakers there to inspire the next generation.
