did you know…

A woman with a bachelor’s degree makes $26,000 less annually than a man with the same credentials?

A girl’s self-esteem peaks at age nine and that between ages 8 and 14, girls’ confidence has been shown to drop by 30%?

Only 1.6% of charitable giving in the US goes to women’s and girls’ groups?
