Winter Update 2007-2008

View our 6-minute video "Listen to Girls" posted on YouTube!

The video shows young women from around the world meeting in St. Paul in an international summit to learn the leadership skills they need to change the world.

In 2008, we look forward to bringing girls together to continue planning for the second international summit, holding our 3rd Annual Global Girls Day this summer, and launching an improved interactive Website.

Global Girls Day 2007 Was a Success!

Girls International Forum (GIF) hosted the 2nd annual Global Girls Day event at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota last summer. For the event, Girl Summit Leaders facilitated workshops on girls’ education, human trafficking, gender-based violence, and HIV/AIDS. Presenters from the Minnesota AIDS Project, Asian Media Access, TVByGirls, Civil Society, WATCH, and New Moon Magazine all helped make the day a great success!

The Girls Summit Leaders are currently developing a model for hosting a Global Girls Day event in your community! Check back for more information later this year.
