💪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
Sharing this powerful post from @golivegirl At STRONG we too want every girl to find her voice. Whatever you believe in, we believe you should speak up, even if your voice shakes #Repost @golivegirl with @get_repost ・・・ At LiveGirl, we encourage every girl to find the power of her voice and to stand up and speak out for what she believes in. Here is a powerful voice. Excerpt from "I’m not surprised, just disappointed” by Kate Reeves, LiveGirl Youth Advisory Board President (New Canaan HS Senior). Dedicated to #christineblaseyford #poem written by @kreeves9 - I am not surprised that Kavanaugh made it onto the supreme court. He was nominated by a president who speaks of women like a sport, He backed the ideals of a party that had the most support. - I am not surprised that the senate approved him, after briefly reviewing the case. After all, only 23% of them are women in the first place. and 51% of them think it will help them win their next race. - I am not surprised that this occurred in the United States in 2018. We live on streets, where women must walk home at night in teams, We live in a society where “boys being boys” is mainstream. But that doesn’t mean I understand In fact, I still still can’t comprehend How the highest court in the land Could be composed of someone who proved themselves emotionally unstable. How despite Dr. Ford’s clear, convincing stand, The senate believes Kavanaugh will be morally capable. I want to know why they would let an alleged sexual predator Determine what I can do with my body? Why they would let someone whose innocence is doubted Determine the innocence of those in our country? In school they tell us we learn history to learn from our mistakes, But it seems Anita Hill didn’t shake the senate floor the way I thought she did. It seems the Brock Turner verdict didn’t rake At the morals of each judge the way I thought it did. It seems the “Me Too” movement didn’t wake Up this country the way I thought it did. - Read the full poem on our blog link in bio. LiveGirl is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit girl empowerment organization that provides year-round leadership development and mentoring to girls grades 5-12.

I ❤️ being inspired! It’s what STRONG is all about - empowering and inspiring YOU! Today I was inspired when I was researching an interview with an amazing woman, who is a world class mathematician, a Putnam Fellow ( v. prestigious math award) and the first female to ever compete at the International Mathematics Olympiad. I was inspired reading about her passion for her subject, and how she pursued a career in math even though she was also a talented writer, and even though it meant she was often the only female in the room. We need more women and girls like her, overcoming discomfort to blaze a trail. I’m truly blown away and I haven’t even conducted the interview yet! 😆 . Who has inspired you recently? Who has made you stop, and think, and vow to yourself to do something differently from now on? Bonus points if you can guess who I’m talking about! . #strongforgirls #rolemodels
