Girls' Bill of Rights, Advocacy Statements and Identity Programs

The Girls Incorporated Girls Bill of Rights and Advocacy Statements express our core values and convictions and form the foundation for our research-based National Identity Programs.

Girls have the right...

to be themselves and to resist gender stereotypes.

Girls Incorporated® Media LiteracySM teaches girls to analyze what they see and hear on television and throughout the media. Girls learn to advocate for images they would like to see while gaining exposure to a range of careers in media and entertainment.

Girls have the right... to express themselves with originality and enthusiasm.

Girls have the right...
to accept and appreciate their bodies.

Girls have the right...

to have confidence in themselves and to be safe in the world.
