Female Empowerment Websites Address Issues That Affect The Lives Of Young Girls

By Jessica King


Women's issues are in the forefront of the news lately. This is happening at the same time women continue to step forward and accuse powerful men of misconduct. The result of this confluence of events seems to be a sharp rise in the number of female empowerment websites aimed specifically at young girls. The object is a create a place where women and girls can communicate with one another in a safe and positive environment.

A number of sites are spotlighting gender stereotypes. They post articles about the obsession many girls have with their body image. They address issues like girls acquiescing to boys when it comes to leadership roles. There are discussions on the subject of girls becoming disinterested in math and science when they reach a certain age and why girls can be ambivalent about their sports abilities.

You can find sites with clothing options for young girls. Many mothers get frustrated when they go shopping for their young daughters and are faced with a sea of pink and purple. One of these mothers started a clothing website that veers away from the traditional princess and drama queen mentality. Here mothers will find clothing that is bright, bold, and ready for the most adventurous little girls.

The middle school years can be hard. This is a transitional time for both boys and girls. There is a site that addresses some of the preteen issues by pairing high school students with younger girls. The older ones serve as mentors. Each week serious topics like drugs, underage drinking, communicating with parents, and the pressure to be nice are discussed. The stated goal of the site is to create leaders, encourage community service, and build self-esteem.

The power of advertising to sway the decisions of young people is the focus of at least one site. It contrasts powerful messages with those with an intention to harm or manipulate, and discusses how to recognize the difference between the two. The goal is to empower girls to the point that they feel confidence enough to make their own choices regardless of the pressure advertisers try to put on them.

Some sites are more global than others. One such site focuses on education and the fact that, in many countries, girls are still denied access to formal education. Its goal is to raise awareness about this serious problem and direct those who might be suffering under this kind of oppression to valuable resources. Their mission is to work toward a world where all girls have the right, and access, to the same education as their male counterparts.

Women and science is the focus of some sites. They want to advance and encourage young women who choose to make scientific research their careers. One site annually awards postdoctoral female researchers with fellowship grants.

Girls face many challenges in the world today. More and more women are stepping up to the plate to lend a hand to the younger generation. It's important for little girls to know that they can do and be whatever they want.
