The Hill:

The iconic “Fearless Girl” statue standing defiantly in front of Wall Street’s “Charging Bull” statue has been removed and is being re-located.

The Associated Press reports that the statue was moved Tuesday night and that no date has been set for when the statue will appear at its new home in front of the New York Stock Exchange.

Two footsteps are now in the place where the statue used to be, allowing passerby to stand in the exact spot.

“Fearless Girl is on the move to The New York Stock Exchange,” a plaque in the statue's place read. “Until she’s there, stand for her.”

1. The concept of "Fearless" doesn't belong on Wall Street, they are the biggest cowards around

They have an actual "fear" index.

And their fears and doubts cost everyone else their jobs... and they can still be millionaires from it.

Meanwhile, we have fears and doubts and politicians and the media don't care about that... unless that fear can be pointed at the 'other'.

The statue of the "Fearless Girl" has been moved to her new home in front of the New York Stock Exchange.

Her reinstallation was unveiled Monday in a premarket ceremony attended by top executives of the NYSE and State Street Global Advisors.

The sculpture, sponsored by State Street Global Advisors, had been staring face to face with Wall Street's iconic "Charging Bull" statue in Bowling Green park since March 2017. It was removed last month after complaints that it had distracted from the bull. The original spot bears only a plaque with the outline of footprints. Visitors are encouraged to "stand for her" there.

State Street commissioned the statue to call attention to the role of women in corporate America and its "gender diversity index" fund. The piece was created by Kristen Visbal and installed in March 2017 on the same plaza as Arturo Di Modica's "Charging Bull" bronze sculpture to celebrate "International Women's Day."
