If we unleash the potential of the
world's girls and young women,
we will unleash a potent force that will bring
lasting change to all corners of the globe.
- Michelle Bachelet,
Executive Director of UN Women
Look. Over here. What do you see?
Poverty, hunger, and violence?
Do you see a girl who will suffer neglect
and injustice?
Do you see a future
or just a burden?
And a victim?
Do you even see me?
Let me tell you what I see.
I see a world where my mother survives my birth.
She sees me way past five.
I see a world where I don't walk all day to find clean water.
Instead I go to school.
I marry later.
I have healthy children
and I learn to be a leader.
I see a world where I own a business.
I support my family.
And I invest in my community.
I see a world where
I am empowered to use my voice.
And people listen.
Do you see what I see?
My strength.
My potential.
My hope.
My future.
Now, do you see me?
Believe in me.
And together, we can build a stronger world.
Strong Women, Strong World is an initiative of
