THE GIRL EFFECT, n.

The powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.

There are 600 million adolescent girls living in poverty in the developing world. By giving one of these girls a chance, you start the girl effect. When girls have safe places to meet, education, legal protection, health care, and access to training and job skills, they can thrive. And if they thrive, everyone around them thrives, too.
