The Girl Declaration
The Colorful Poster That Should Hang In The Mind Of Every Girl Who's Felt InsignificantGirls make up half of the planet (I'm one of them!), but 250 million of them live in poverty. With so much untapped potential, the world might as well be screaming. Girls and women are kind of a big deal; it's time to recognize.
This energy explosion of words comes from The Girl Effect. It was written by some of the world's leading global development organizations with the help of 508 girls from four different continents. It's colorful and kick-ass, and if you're feeling like a kind person today (which, I sure hope you are!), please take a minute to add your support by signing the Girl Declaration here. And never forget: Sharing is caring.

Change starts with Courage.
This March, change starts with you.
Girl Rising started out with a simple truth: educating girls will change the world. The film became a campaign, and that message became a movement. We’re asking supporters everywhere to take action throughout the month of March in support of girls, the women of tomorrow.
Help us prove the power of Girl Rising.
Organize something that makes sense for you. It can be large or small: a private screening, a public dialogue, a poetry slam. It doesn’t matter what it is, or where. What counts is that we all do something.
There is strength in numbers. The more people who stand up on behalf of girls this March, the more likely the world will take notice. Individual by individual, community by community, your actions lead to global change.
Now, it’s time to show our strength.

Even though I have a Y chromosome (or as my feminist mentor called it, "cranial testosterone poisoning"
), I am an unabashed feminist.
