  • Decades Later: Why Protecting Girls Starts With Their Voices
    A lot has changed since earlier decades but not the messages that we send to girls.  It is 2025 and we are still telling girls

    • "Be nice"
    • "Be quiet about the pain, discomfort, and injustice in your life. "


    This episode explores the powerful impact of listening to girls' voices as a critical step in keeping them safe. Despite decades of activism, societal change has been slow, leaving girls vulnerable to abuse, neglect, and violence.
