It has been a whirlwind last week for Girl Up, and the fun continues through the end of this week! In recent days, the campaign has gotten tons of buzz thanks to our partners, Champions, and supporters like you as together we made the issues of adolescent girls a favorite discussion topic during UN Week in New York City, at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), and on major TV news programs.
Here are some of our favorite moments so far:
Whew! That was just SOME of all the exciting stuff happening last week … but now, it’s time to get ready for Girl Up’s big campaign launch! Starting tomorrow we’ll kick off our much-awaited Unite for Girls Tour in New York City. Join us at the Pep Rally and at our Girlafesto Gathering ! We’re bringing Girl Up across the country and around the world, uniting you and millions of others to transform the lives of girls everywhere.
