Girls Inc. Girl’s Rights Week
Today, May 7, closes Girls’ Rights Week, founded by the organization Girls Inc. The week was created to empower girls to advocate for their rights and create positive change in the world.
This year the theme is “Healthy Girls, Healthy Communities” focusing on empowerment through focus on physical activity, nutrition, body image, and managing stress. Girls around the country took the time to determine the resources available in their communities to encourage physical activity and came up with findings as to why some girls might not have access to these resources. Girls Inc. National Scholars also met with First Lady Michelle Obama’s staff to present their findings.
Even though Girl’s Rights Week is closing why not think of ways you can continue to create a healthy body and community in the upcoming weeks. Maybe you can make a decision to start picking healthier snacks like fruits, taking time to exercise regularly, or getting together with friends to volunteer in the community, possibly cleaning up a park or planting a garden. Also check out the Girls’ Bill of Rights below and this video from the Girl Power Studio where girls and girl power motivator Kelsie Morales give an inspiring message:
