conscious media consumption. LadiesFirst
provides girls with media literacy education
to make sure young girls know how to
respond to such behaviors when they see
them on screen. As a result, the critical
thinking skills that these girls will develop
will equip them with the confidence to
address such behaviors in their communities.

Self-Advocacy IS Important

with adults, LadiesFirst believes the earlier it is
introduced the better.
As LadiesFirst strives to cultivate a culture of
empowered girls, it is imperative that our girls
learn how to express their strengths and needs,
establish their personal goals, and understanding
their legal rights and responsibilities and
communicate these to others.
