Turn on any news station and you will see a glimpse of some of the challenges our world is facing: hunger, poverty, disease, war and environmental changes, just to name a few. Young people, both boys and girls, have the power to fix these problems in our world. But girls today have problems of their own. Our image-obsessed society tells girls that they are not skinny enough, pretty enough, or talented enough to change the world. ItÕs no wonder girls are struggling with their self-esteem and self-worth. ItÕs time to make a shift.
What the world needs more than ever are changemakersÑyoung people who are committed to making the world a better place. We need girls who are less worried about thigh gaps and more worried about the difference they are making in the lives of others. GIRL TALK speaks to girls growing up in a society filled with pressures and encourages them to see that they have the power to make the world a better place each and every day, right where they are.
