How do you see global feminism? The Girls Go Global Project is an international initiative that seeks to bring together contemporary and pop culture images of global feminism, created by women and girls across the globe.
The goal of Girls Go Global is to demystify feminism and promote a positive and engaging connection with the term. The project aims to provide a funky source of literature that entices people to become a part of global women's movement(s), which will be portrayed as a talented and inspiring bunch of women throughout the world with different views and skills who work together for justice.
Girls Go Global values and celebrates non-conventional and non-academic forms of expression of feminism(s) which are positive, strong and empowering, and represent women of different ages, cultures and backgrounds.
To be a part of a global collection for publication and possible exhibition, send your essays (not more than 3000 words), photos, art, web images, lyrics, poems, graffiti and multimedia depictions of feminism. Visit <http://www.girlsgoglobal.org> for details of how to enter. A creative book of the submitted material is to be produced. For any further information, please contact <suzette@girlsgoglobal.org>.
