Girls Moving Forward

Girls Moving Forward honors #DenimDay and the movement to end sexual violence.

A wonderful reflection of the innovative work that we are doing in Soquel school district - using a gender specific focus.

Empowering to see all the exciting initiatives centered around efforts to increase the presence of women in the STEM industry like that of Girls Who Code!

As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Human Rights Day, we'd like to congratulate Malala Yousafzai, who was awarded a 2013 United Nations Human Rights Prize for being a fearless pioneer in promoting education rights for girls and women.

At Girls Moving Forward, we try to inspire our girls with some daily words of wisdom. What quotes inspire you? Please share, we'd love to spread the wealth!

"The expanding role of women in all aspects of our society makes it critical that there be programs targeted at providing girls -- especially those from low-income families -- access to the best possible secondary and college education."

Missed Malala Yousafzai's interview with The Daily Show? Just click the link to watch! Malala is setting herself up to be one of today's youngest pioneers for girls' access to education worldwide, and we are humbled by her courage and passion. http://ow.ly/pMAlv

I just read "The more time a girl spends on social media such as Instagram or Twitter or Facebook, and the more friends or followers the girl has, the more likely the girl is to become anxious and/or depressed." As people who care about the girls in our life what can we do about this????

Today Girls Moving Forward honors the life of Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first female Prime Minister. May her life and accomplishments be celebrated for years to come! 10/13/1925 - 04/08/2013
