“Uniting Girls to Change the World”

Hi Girls,

Happy Mother's Day from Girl UpMy mother is one of my biggest supporters and always encourages me to live out my dreams.

When I heard about the challenges other girls face around the world, my dream became to make things better for them.

Unfortunately, many girls in developing countries never get the chance to live out their dreams.

One in seven girls in these countries is forced to marry before she’s 15 years old — robbing her of the chance to go to school, making her more vulnerable to violence, and putting her at risk for health complications.

On Mother’s Day, and all days, share this email with a woman you care about in your life — together you can say I DO take a stand against child marriage.

Show your support by signing the Girl Up petition to end child marriage.

By signing on you are saying I DO want girls around the world to have the chance to live their dreams.

Because together we are stronger,

Avery McCall
Girl Up Teen Advisor
