Raising Boys Who Believe in Girls

We talk a lot about ensuring that every girl has the confidence to know #ThisGirlCanChangetheWorld but what about our boys?

We need to be sure that we never leave our boys out of the conversation-ever!

For girls to always have the strong sense of self, and unshakeable belief in themselves to grow and thrive and never question their place, they need to be able to move through their world surrounded by men who also believe in them!

Men who not only see women as equals but also support their rights and goals.

Men who know that every girl, every woman, has the right to use her voice, walk into any room, work side by side with them, and stand on that equal playing field.

• Help our boys see positive role models-male and female

• Be sure our boys' media consumption portrays strong women and girls alongside supportive boys and men

• Model equality

• Educate our boys about women’s history

• Help our boys understand what equality means

• Teach our boys to respect every girl 

• Help our boys understand and support every girl's rights

• Support our  boys in developing their emotional awareness and intelligence

• Help our boys know it is OK not to win and OK to be vulnerable

• Point out instances of bias and sexism 

• Have  conversations about what images and portrayals  they see on social media and popular media 

• Help our boys be kind and supportive friends

• Celebrate strong confident girls and women

• Celebrate strong supportive men

👏to all the Moms and Dads raising boys who know that the girls in their world can do anything they can do...and that is not only OK but really cool!

These boys will be the Fathers, friends, soulmates, best pals… every girl needs.

This Girl Can Vote!

This Girl Can! Change the World

is proud to launch our

This Girl Can Vote! Collection

We believe that EVERY girl from the earliest age should be empowered with not only an understanding of #civics but also a strong belief in herself. Every girl should realize the role that she can play-no matter her age- in helping her community, and her country to create change and ensure that democracy thrives to fulfill the promise of equality for all.

This Girl Can! use her voice. She can learn about how government works and why voting matters. She can knock on doors, make phone calls, register voters, organize, rally, take action, support...at any level. This Girl Can! be confident. She can be inspired and inspiring. She can be a leader. This Girl Can! run! starting even in a school or community group election...and She can vote!

Our This Girl Can Vote! Collection was inspired by the 2020 celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Thanks to the courage and determination of so many women over 70 years of protest and perseverance the Constitution was amended to ensure that the right to vote cannot be denied on account of sex. It would be another five decades before the vote was secured for ALL, and the fight continues, but…

This Girl Can Vote!… And She Will!

“People say, what is the sense of our small effort?
They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time,
take one step at a time.
A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless.
There is too much work to do.”
~ Dorothy Day

“Voting is the only way to ensure

that your concerns matter—Period.

So when you don’t vote, what you’re really doing

is letting someone else

take power over your own life.”

~ Michelle Obama
