What are girl rights?
Girl and women's rights are claims that girls and women can make worldwide, despite their economic status, race, sexuality, or background. In some situations, these rights are protected through laws or customs. Unfortunately, many times, girls and women are denied these rights—they are ostracized and oppressed instead.
Girls and women are oppressed throughout the world through two predominant evils: Human trafficking and Child marriage The Gold Award project GREET (Girl Rights; Engage, Empower, Train) works against these practices and advocates for women equality by educating audiences in the Bay Area and across the world through a documentary film and this website, empowering girls and communities that are vulnerable to these practices, and training communities to spread this knowledge and work with pre-existing humanitarian organizations. Moreover, GREET also entails developing and distributing a curriculum that organizations will use to teach previously trafficked survivors and girls at risk basic survival skills and different occupations to be self-sustaining and permanently escape the vicious cycle of human trafficking. |
