Yes of course they have them, girls enter bat mitzvah at the age of 12 instead of 13 (like a boy would). However, for a girl, it's called a bat, not a bar. Bat means daughter in Hebrew while bar means son in Aramaic.

∙ 13y agoIf the bat mitzvah is held on a Friday night, the girl does not read directly from the Torah because Friday is not a day on which we read from the Torah. If the bat mitzvah is held on a Saturday, the girl reads from the Torah.

∙ 12y agoIt all depends. Amongst Conservative and Reform, there's no issue from girls chanting the Torah in front of a mixed congregation (men and women). Amongst the Orthodox, many girls are choosing to chant the Torah as part of all female prayer sessions.
What also determines whether girls chant Torah is which service they celebrate their becoming a bat mitzvah at. If it's a Friday night service, then they won't chant directly from the Torah as the Torah is not brought out during the Friday night service.
