Fighting Misogyny: Two Student Activists Share How Girls Can Take a Stand
Following the U.S. election results, She’s the First spoke with girls in our Chapters program who live in states and areas where women’s bodies are politicized.
A university student from Arizona said that men on her campus held signs that said, “Women are property.”
A girl from a high school in Texas told us that boys were walking around the hallway saying, “Your body, my choice.”
We asked two alums of our Girl Activist Fellowship for their thoughts about the rise of sexist discourse and what girls can do to fight back.
