Girls are intelligent, incredible INDIVIDUALS. Be you. Don’t let anyone tell you to be anyone different. ⭐️💪What alliterative adjectives would you use to describe yourself?💪⭐️ #strongmagazineforgirls #beyourself

This is an image from issue 6 of STRONG, where we took a look at the role of women in politics both in the US and around the world. It seems fitting to post it this morning, the morning after an election that saw more women elected to the House than ever before! Among them @rashidatlaib and @ilhanmn, the first Muslim women elected to Congress, @ocasio2018, the youngest woman elected at just 29, and @shariceforcongress and @deb4congressnm, the first Native American women. When the dust has settled, it looks as though approximately 100 seats in the House will be held by women. More than ever before. CONGRATULATIONS to all the trailblazing, glass ceiling shattering women out there! Want to be a leader yourself one day? Check out @mspresidentus or @girlsinpolitics for programs in your area that encourage girls to become our future leaders. #strongmagazineforgirls #womenrule
If you live in the US and you’re over 18, VOTE!! Vote because women fought for decades to win you the right to have your voice heard. Vote because the future is YOURS, and you have the right AND the responsibility to shape it! Today, you can be a part of this amazing thing called democracy. Don’t miss out. VOTE! #strongmagazineforgirls #vote
⭐️ November 5th is redhead day! ⭐️TELL US WHO YOUR FAVORITE REDHEADED ROLE MODEL IS! Did you know that only 2% of the population has red hair? Being a little bit different, redheads have been bullied and picked on throughout time. During the Spanish Inquisition, redheads were accused of having stolen the fires of hell, and burned as witches. In Nazi Germany, redheads were considered demonic, and marriage between redheads was banned. Even today, people believe redheads have fiery tempers and sharp tongues! 🙄 So today, here’s a shout out to all the STRONG, BEAUTIFUL redheads out there, who, like all girls, are perfect just the way they are. Also, do you ❤️ the tee our model on the right is wearing? Check out this and other empowering designs from the awesome @_daisybella #strongmagazineforgirls #redhead
💪🏾WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL STRONG?💪🏾 Share what makes you STRONG in the comments 👇 We asked our STRONG models what makes them feel STRONG. Name: Montana Age:16 Music that empowers you: indie and pop Empowering movie: Wonder Quote: ‘when I was 5 years old, my mum always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I write down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.” - John Lennon Role models: @emmawatson and my family. #strongmagazineforgirls #whatmakesyoustrong

💪GOT ADVICE FOR EVERYONE FOR THE NEW WEEK? 💪 . Happy Monday to all the STRONG girls out there! We hope you have a great week. Things to remember as you go about your day: 1️⃣You are enough. You don’t need to try to be anyone else. You are unique, and you are special, and the world would be a very dull place if we were all the same. So wear that funky top you love and don’t worry what other people think. Be YOU! 2️⃣ Kindness goes a long way. Everyone you meet this week is going through their own ‘stuff’. Think before you speak, smile at people in the corridors, and try to spread some happiness. 3️⃣Lift other people up with your actions and words. We rise higher if we all rise together. 4️⃣We all have bad days - give yourself a break too. Do you have advice for the new week you want to share? Let us all know in the comments below 👇 #strongmagazineforgirls #newweek
🌟What’s the nicest compliment you’ve ever received? 🌟 . Did you know that girls and women are far more likely to receive compliments about their appearance than boys/men? It’s true! And while it’s nice that someone notices a new top you’ve bought, it also subtly reinforces the message over and over again that looks are the most important thing about girls- and it starts from a really young age. Think about it - if you see a little girl, how likely are you to comment on her ‘pretty dress’? Ask yourself if you’d say the same kind of thing to a little boy, or if you’d be more likely to comment on the toy he was carrying... Ever noticed how a lot of boys/men care a lot less about what they’re wearing than you do? Ever thought about what might be at the route of that? Possibly it’s because they haven’t been told that some aspect of their appearance looks nice almost every single day of their lives. There’s nothing wrong with complimenting someone (male or female) on their appearance, but isn’t it great when people mix it up a bit and compliment you on your achievements or your personality instead? What’s the nicest compliment you’ve ever received? Tell us in the comments 👇 #strongmagazineforgirls #compliments
Did you know that each issue, STRONG talks to a girl Growing Up In... another country or culture? In issue 5 we spoke to 13-year-old Ndagire Fridausi about her life in Uganda. This week @michelleobama launched the Global Girls Alliance, (@globalgirlsalliance ) an organization that aims to take action to make sure the 98 million adolescent girls around the 🌎 who are not in school, get the opportunity to have an education. Around the 🌎 millions of girls don’t go to school everyday simply because they have their period and either don’t have adequate supplies, or are prevented from going because they are somehow thought of as unclean. Can you imagine missing school one week every month and how much your education would suffer? We asked Ndagire about education in Uganda. Check out her answer below and click on the link in the bio ☝️ for the full interview. . Do equal numbers of boys and girls go to school? ‘Uganda overall has a strong legal framework protecting the right to education as a fundamental human right enshrined in the 1995 Constitution. Nevertheless, Uganda has made mixed progress towards gender equality in education. In primary education, gender parity is at 91% of the school-age population being enrolled. However, female literacy rates lag behind at 49% compared to 69% of males, and gender gaps widen at secondary and tertiary school (OECD, 2015). There are many factors that contribute to women and girls’ education in Uganda and to girls dropping out of school. Data from the Ministry of Education and Sports shows that school dropout in the country is higher at the primary level than at secondary level because of lack of interest, pregnancy, early marriages, hidden costs at school, and family responsibilities. Research has found that adolescent pregnancy and early marriage remain two of the main barriers to girls’ education.’ #strongmagazineforgirls #educategirls

💪STRONG - ‘able to withstand great force or pressure.’💪 Some of us are STRONG because we work hard in school, some of us are STRONG because we’re battling an illness, and some of us are STRONG because our parents are getting divorced and we’re having to deal with a whole lot and still carry on. Some of us are STRONG because we’re not afraid to speak out when we see someone doing something wrong, some of us are STRONG because we train for the sport we love, everyday, making numerous sacrifices and never giving up. What makes YOU STRONG? . #strongforgirls #whatmakesyoustrong
