The Girl Effect: The Clock is Ticking
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e8xgF0JtVg

If you watch one video today, let this be it.

It has long been known by those in the development field that female empowerment can be one of the most powerful mechanisms by which to alleviate both the crushing depth and self-propagating symptoms of poverty.

This isn’t news - yet girls around the world, even in developed nations, continue to fall through the cracks.

Now, The Girl Effect movement seeks to leverage this into social-media-driven action. Click through to their official website and see the simple ways in which you can help to empower this army of would-be Slayerettes.

It could be as simple as fund-raising to help to pay a girl’s school fees, making a micro-loan to help fund a young woman’s business idea, or even spreading the girl effect by reposting this video.

So before you head out into the weekend, click Re-blog and pass this on. ♥

THIS THIS THIS THIS.
