Hmm... do you think girls and boys are equal?

Feminism. Nowadays, a lot of people think it’s unnecessary, that one of its main goals—gender equality—has been accomplished, so what’s the point of dragging out that tired movement again? And yet…

 

Women still earn less than men do for equal work

 

Only 30 percent of girls in the world are enrolled in secondary schools. In the next two years, women will make up nearly two-thirds of the world’s illiterate adult population.

 

Women hold less than 16 percent of top leadership positions in Fortune 500 countries and about 20 percent of the seats in the U.S. Congress

 

1 in 5 high school girls has been abused by a date and more than half of all rapes of women happen to girls younger than 18

 

Something about that doesn’t seem quite equal to us. Enter the International Day of the Girl.
 

Today, Oct. 11, has been established by the United Nations to support the a resolution made last year: “To help galvanize worldwide enthusiasm for goals to better girls’ lives providing an opportunity for them to show leadership and reach their full potential.”

 

Three cheers for that!

 

Are you ready to join the movement? Leave us a comment telling us why YOU think the International Day of the Girl is a great idea, and what you’re going to do to make sure that you, your friends and all the girls who come after you have equal opportunities to real the world in the future.

I tried to post this question yesterday and it didn't work so I hope u post this 😥anyways so I kinda like this guy and my friends think he likes me back. My bgf is friends with him and said he likes me so I'm pretty sure he will ask me out. Well there is this teacher her makes fun of alllll the couples. He once said while we were learning about compaction "it is when sediments squeeze together like Romeo and Juliet over hear!" he also said "X! Keep your hands to yourself unless its with C!" about the SAME people. He completely humiliates the couples in our grade! How would I deal with it if he does ask me out (I'm sensitive)
P.S don't say that I should see what happens if he DOES ask me out just answer my question please
Thanks in advance xoxoxo ☺😃😁

 

Hey Fierymindedgal<3, how will your teacher know you guys are a couple if you don't tell him? Tell your and his friends to keep their mouths shut too. You should be fine. Xoxo

I am on the swim team and we are finding out what team we are on today, A B or C. I've been in A once, B once, and C twice. I'm really worried that I'm going to get into C because the coach is SUPER mean! Help!








Hey girl, don't worry so much about which team you're on and just focus on why you joined in the first place. If you love swimming then just enjoy that and have fun. xoxo

Hi! I really really like this boy. He's sort of my friend. We talk a little. How do I flirt with him? Oh and also my uncle's wedding is coming up and I found out that I look better when my hair is up. Do you know any fancy hairstyles for updos? Thank you!


Hey Chica! Here is a link to help you with flirting: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2007/11/17/Flirting101.aspx
