About MediaGirls:
MediaGirls mission is to teach girls and young women to discover their self-worth, and use social media to speak up for their beliefs.
We do this by showing girls and young women how to use social media to share their true selves, challenge sexist media messages, post positive, and take a stand on meaningful issues. Our program focuses on a topic that resonates deeply with numerous girls and young women: the inundation of sexist and undermining messages by mainstream media. By learning how to think critically and strike back against this problem, girls develop the skills, practice and confidence to advocate for any causes they deem important.
