Ariel Graham of JCPenney’s campaign Squares & Streets came to visit Girl Up’s Teen Advisor Weekend in Los Angeles. Her visit ncapsulated what a partnership with Girl Up can bring to both the company and the cause.

One of the highlights of Teen Advisor Weekend was a visit with six influential women who serve on the board of Women in Film, an organization dedicated to helping women achieve their highest potential in the entertainment industry.

Inspiration. Courage. Dedication. These are the words that come to mind when you think of a six-time Olympic medalist. Rebecca Soni is all of that and much more!

The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act is something to celebrate, especially because it includes language that makes ending child marriage in developing countries a U.S. foreign policy priority.

Girls and boys from all over LA joined us at the Unite for Girls Pep Rally in Los Angeles to learn about the lives of girls in Malawi, Liberia, Guatemala, and Ethiopia, and to start to take action by getting involved in Girl Up.

The Unite for Girls tour is in Los Angeles this week, and we got off to a great start with a high-energy event at Variety last night. Over 200 people came together to celebrate Girl Up and give a High Five for girls around the world.
