Join Glamour's Back-to-School Rally for Girls
Education is sexist.
In the U.S., girls are socialized out of STEM programs and targeted with unfair dress codes. In other parts of the world, they’re forced out of school and into child marriage, or they have to spend their days carrying water instead of studying. Around the world, 50 million girls of secondary school age won’t get to go back to school this fall.
At Glamour, we believe an educated girl can change the world. That’s why we founded our philanthropic initiative, The Girl Project, to give girls the tools they need to finish school and follow their dreams.
And it’s why on October 11, the International Day of the Girl, we’re hosting a back-to-school rally for hundreds of schoolgirls in New York City. Real-life superheroes Cory Booker, Yara Shahidi, Ashley Graham, Cleo Wade, and Herieth Paul will join them for some real talk about education, activism, and what it means to be a girl today, with live performances sure to inspire girls everywhere. Because let’s face it, now more than ever, the world needs girls to stand up, speak out, and make their voices heard.
To join us for “The Power of an Educated Girl”, tune in LIVE at 10:00 A.M. on Wednesday, October 11, and follow along on social media with the hashtag #Glamour4Edu.
