Girls Inc: Pretty

Girls Inc: Pretty


Girls Inc.

Pretty Smart

Growing confidence

Situation

Social media teaches girls that “selfie likes” equal self-worth. Girls Inc. helps girls grow up to be strong, smart, and bold by driving policies and practices that open doors and ensure equality. We needed to help a broader audience understand why Girls Inc. is so important. 

Solution

To help prevent the snowball effect of low self-worth and risky behaviors that happens in teen girls, we started the conversation earlier in childhood. Pretty—a picture book that uses a small twist in language to make a big shift in mindsets—redefines what “pretty” really means. In simple, memorable terms, it reminds parents and caregivers to recognize and acknowledge the pretty amazing qualities in the girls around them, rather than inadvertently focusing on physical attributes alone.
