Why don鈥檛 girls around the world have equal access to education? Why don鈥檛 women have equal pay聽and equal opportunity in the workplace?
Embedded values start before a girl is even born and shape the world around her.
Too often people聽are OK with saying: 鈥淭hat鈥檚 not for girls. Girls aren鈥檛 good at that. Girls belong at home. Girls can聽wait.鈥
But imagine a world where we change those embedded values and girls around the world have the opportunity to become all that they can be. Girls are powerful and ready to lead if given the opportunity. Let鈥檚 break down those barriers.
Will you take a stand this International Women鈥檚 Day and call on the world to start getting serious about #RewritingTheCode? We can help rewrite the future for a generation of women by making this the moment we help change embedded values.
We want a future where no girl is left out of the classroom, the boardroom or the conversation 鈥 we want girls to become future leaders.
