As a part of the visit, Maisha and Farjana also took over the Twitter account of the Danish Minister for Equal Opportunities Karen Ellemann. “All in an effort to highlight the challenges girls face and to promote the empowerment of young women and girls,” the embassy said in a statement reiterating the Day's message. The embassy said Prime Minister Rasmussen was very impressed with the girls and their determination to change their country for the better. Danish Minister for Equal Opportunities Ellemann felt 'touched' by meeting the girls from Bangladesh. In April this year, they met the Danish Crown Princess Mary and the Danish Minister for Development Ulla Tornaes, when the two visited Bangladesh.
