Girls are being celebrated around the world today on 'International Day of the Girl'.
Since 2011 the United Nations has been using the day to empower girls across the world to have better educations, health services and protection.
Here girls are taking over a number of companies for the day including eBay while 19 year old Diana Oprea has taken over the Tanaiste's office.
Susan Keogh has been speaking to her:
