The Girl Effect: The powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.

WHY GIRLS?

Because when adolescent girls in the developing world have a chance, they can be the most powerful force of change for themselves, their families, communities and nations.

But while those 600 million girls are the most likely agents of change, they are invisible to their societies and the world.

Adolescent girls are uniquely capable of raising the standard of living in the developing world. Girls are the most likely agents of change, but they are often invisible to their societies and to our media.

When everyone—girls, parents, teachers, executives, artists, hairdressers, forest rangers, rock stars, presidents, investors, advertisers, skateboarders, truckers, cowboys, organizations, chefs, teenagers—knows about The Girl Effect, then real change can happen. This site is just the beginning. The end is nothing less than ending poverty.

The Girl Effect is rooted in the work of the Nike Foundation , which has been joined by the NoVo Foundation in a shared mission to create opportunities for girls, and for the world. Other girl champions include the UN Foundation, the International Center for Research on Women, the Population Council, the Center for Global Development and those who work for girls everyday, in schools, villages, cities, offices, agencies, and governments.

We think there's a movement on the rise. Want to tap in? Head over to The Girl Effect on Facebook. Not a facebooker? Email us at info@girleffect.org.
