MWL Public Policy
Advocacy Committee
Issue: Girl Empowerment
Women’s equality begins with the
empowerment of girls. The MWL PPA Committee strives to break down
barriers that girls face, and to expand girls’ notions of what it means to
be successful,. The Committee sponsors events and provides information to
the MWL membership with the hope that our members will be inspired to
actively join this cause.
Past Event
Two Hours to
Empower!
On Thursday, February 5th,
2009, the MWL Public Policy Advocacy (PPA) Committee hosted a unique event,
focusing on empowering and enriching the lives of girls. PPA was
pleased to introduce three local organizations
dedicated to the cause of girl empowerment. These organizations aim to
achieve their goals in a variety of creative ways such as education on media
literacy, and direct mentoring of girls. Through these efforts, girls are
challenged to become leaders in the community through strategic self-expression
as well as political participation.
