@InfragilisTerminatio shut the fuck up. you're the kind of person that keeps women behind. this isnt a feminist cause. its a logical, fair cause. you dont care at all that your own SISTER, or MOTHER, could have been one of this girls if she was born in a different country? this could be ANYONE. if you dont care, then dont waste your time watching the fucking video.
@honeybee6543 Hi honey, dont be such a DOLT. Feminism is itself a logical and fair cause, and this IS feminist. Do not be so ashamed of feminism, or of using that word- that would be TRULY SHAMEFUL. P.S. I male and a proud feminist. ;)
Excellent video. The most effective way of ending poverty and disease is the empowerment of women. Give them an education, give them microfinance, and give them the control over their birth cycle, and poverty will soon decline.
Why don't they invest in boys? Why I hear you ask? They are. What's happening? Nothing. Just more poverty. Just more stories of ABUSE and WAR. Girls aren't objects, they are human beings, who apparently don't have any say in these countries because they are considered not important. Their only job is to slave for a man. A man who thinks he is more important just because of his gender. Bull fucking shit.
@capetorial Well, that's great - because we don't want your money. We want your VOICE! The Girl Effect is a movement: it's social change in action. It’s about you using your voice, your talents, and your community to help girls help themselves—and, as a result, everybody else. The secret behind the Girl Effect is that it’s not one large campaign – it’s hundreds of thousands of small campaigns started by girl champions all over the world!
My dad always told me - he doesn't care why someone does something good...just that they do good. I think I agree with him. I don't care if Nike is doing this because they got caught in a scandal, its true they should be doing it anyways, but its being done now. It would be nice if corporations had souls and hearts, but it is a step in the right direction that governments and consumers are forcing them to change their behavior if not giving them morals.
The reason people complain that Nike made this is because right after people found out about the Child Labour Scandals..about a year after they created this foundation. No of course it does not make it any less good. But you just need to think about the reason WHY the foundation was created. To do honest good or to cover up what is really going on in 3rd world countries in those factories. That is all i am going to say.
I am a woman and i am just as strong if not stronger than the men around me. Why? because i have a house, family, education, and food. something those women don't.
Don't TRY to say men are doing the fighting and hard work when I work my ass off daily alongside men in a career that is male dominated. I know women fighting for your freedom so before you say another degrading thing towards women, I suggest you think about what you say. Show some compassion.
As a male I found this very moving and I truly feel inspired to offer support to relevant aid organisations regardless of who made the clip.
To the bro's in the comments who are actually having whinge and trolling with bitchy comments - grow some balls and give a damn about some one who isn't you.
that's really awesome, but unfortunately, its too difficult for people in third world countries to get through school, there's either a lack of schools or its just too expensive.....but i will try as much as i can to help
@jarlragnar if you kill all males, then the world wil stop spinning. Women cant have babies and so when everyone dies, this world is gone. u might want to think about what ur saying
@tehnicholas1 You're not tired of the whole world being such a bitch to those girls, you're just tired of hearing that a girl is the answer... Great, what can I say!
Seriously girleffect, you could've saved so much time by calling your youtube channel "peopleeffect" or just something like "TheEffect", then making videos about boys AND girls. Now you've got guys saying "This is sexist!" and girls replying "Ignorant man!" Literally. I saw that in the comments.
Its true. The most powerful force of CHANGE in WORLD is A GIRL. I know Girls who changed the way people live. Real GOOD Changes. And so, its true, Girls are THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE OF CHANGE! Its upto the rest of the world that includes older women to guide them. Respect! Also, Happy Women's Day!
I don't think this video is intending a sexist viewpoint.
"The most powerful force OF CHANGE in the world is a girl." They're not trying to say girls are better than boys. Women in these countries are traditionally the caregivers to the children. They teach them and basically lay the foundations for their future. So the women are the primary formers of future generations, because the men are supporting the family outside of the home. That's why they say girls are the force of change :)
This is sextist garbage. Why can this organization not focus on boys aswwell? It would also stop the spread of H.I.V Reduce poverty just aswell and it wouldn't be sextist. Why can't they just do that? Why are girls magically better in third world countrys?
@Yayme75 yes but this organization is not just focusing on stoping girls being viewed as commodities they are focusing on reduceing poverty. So why can't they help 12 year old boys asswell? In some countrys in africa the boys fight men half their age in gang wars useing automatic firearms. But go ahead and suport this sextist idea and F.Y.I. I do live in a hole
@kuriboh380 this is not sexist! concern for boys in proverty and girls in proverty is equal! The vid just happens focuses on what girls usually experience when in poverty! Thats why is called the GIRL EFFECT. Do you expect a organization that focuses on whales to focus on every other animal because its being unfair? There are a lot of organizations that focus on boys living in proverty at well.
@kuriboh380 The fact of the matter IS even in a poor family boys will have any/all chances given to them to advance. The facts point out that when women advance then their progeny advances as well. Mali has a 25% literacy rate. Cote d'Ivoire has a 50% literacy rate (a supposedly advanced & rich African country). What does that tell you??? If the man is Muslim or tribal he will take MANY wives and they remain in poverty.
@kuriboh380 If you'd like to email us, we'd love to share with you "why girls." It's not about helping only girls - it's about ending poverty. If we thought rubber bands could save the world, we would've created "the rubber band effect." We'd love to hear from you!
Yeah, i see a girl, who can have the same dreams and ambitions as a man, who deserve the same chance as a man, who is equal to a man in every respect... and yeah, you aren't any different.
there is nothing wrong with the idea...
but saying one gender is greater than the other in anyway is sexist, sorry, by defenition.
@kuriboh380 yea ur right! Its true, these women just stay home and help in the kitchen while the guy does all the work to get a life started and get a family and so on! So this video is BS, and this organization is BS, why not create an organization that helps both male and female. But no your to good for that...
this cause is really inspiring! i think i'll make something to support this cause (im not sure what i'l do yet...i stil have to think of that...) any suggestions on what i could do? i'll think of what i can do to support "the girl effect" rite now...
@Edvin1010 It was a friendly off-handed comment. I don't have time to think about everything that you may be implying within your text, and I certainly didn't have time to make my post any longer. However, since you chose to engage me (and with a lame, too-easily-offended tone I might add), I'll explain why I brought it up: the term "sustainable growth" is a political buzzword that sounds good, but is not realistic, and I think should be used cautiously. That's all man. Lets keep it mellow.
"Aid-supported scholarships have certainly helped send African girls to school (never mind that they won't be able to find a job in their own countries once they have graduated). This kind of aid can provide band-aid solutions to alleviate immediate suffering, but by its very nature cannot be the platform for long-term sustainable growth." Read the whole article:
would you state he obvious the same way if I talked about sustainable growth of an infant? no, because everybody knows that eventually (at adult size) it will stop. so why do you have trouble understanding the same (ie sustainable growth ->obviously->"as long as it is necessary" OR "in a scalable way according to local circumstances" OR "as long as it reaches the optimum level") in economics context?
its the girls falt especially in america since they sell them selfs like that being used when they can walk away and choose not to.even though they want to.
@DrCOMPUT3R its not about the girl. If the girl is strong she might be able to change. But if the women in her family are not strong then that girl will be swayed to follow them. Its not about respect or value. Its about the ancestors. And what values those ancestors pass down. Women have been changing over the years, we have been fighting for equality. But in a world where there is less educated women, how will they know that they can make a difference, and not be a poster on the wall
I would like to see if women can make a healthy difference in politics worldwide. So far many women who have been in power have behaved similarly to men: Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, etc. But, maybe it's because they were surrounded mostly by men. It's time to improve the balance and find out what they can really do by empowering women worldwide to make their best contributions. Support the Central Asia Institute and others. Go girls.
If you actually look at the words, it doesn't make sense beyond being "feel guilt" propaganda. Girls are great and part of the solution, but we'll need to include girls and boys to get the a world that works for everyone.
isnt Nike, one of the companies doing the whole asian child sweatshop thing? well i hope at least theyre not little girls cause thatd make them huge hypocrites. and i bet a good 80-90% of ppl talking shit about about Nike, has Nikes sooooo...lol there yhu go:)
who cares if Nike made it? That doesn't make it any less true. When girls are in school at age 10,11,12 & not being forced into child marriages & motherhood, they pass on what they learn to their children and the entire community. They have fewer children & make more informed decisions in matters of health, investment, & education. Girls and boys may be equal, but they certainly aren't TREATED equally in the world. Girl Effect has a great mission & a great message. Keep up the good work.
i was all into this until i found out Nike made it....smh...as much as they go to other 3rd world countries and exploit small girls and women to do child labor to make their products...who are they to talk? but not to be totally negative...it was a good video....but just that...a video...
It is NOT sexist. The world is almost completely patriarchal so most women/girls are considered secondary citizens. This video is just addressing the fact that the world SHOULD invest in girls, because in the end, everyone benefits...NOT JUST girls.
This is such BS. Nike foundation!!! Nike has contracted factories with cheap labour in China, Vietnam and Indonesia. They used child labour in factories in Cambodia. Nike used GIRLS AS CHEAP LABOUR!!! Damn politics!!! It is a clever branding game. Nothing else!!
@katysexbomb666 why dont guys rock or is it a just girls are cool thing all this stuff is actually sexcist but noone realizes women ask for 50/50 but only think women should be demanding. you kind of women are so hypocritical.
It's the greedy government. Why is it that billions go into the country and nothing happens? Because the greedy rich government take a high percentage of the money and give the rest to the country. when that money is shared it ends up being pretty much worthless. Just one example is president mungabe with he's 20ft high solid gold eagle chair. He's got that and all he's people have nothing!! It needs to stop so they can have the life in Africa they deserve, and stay away from here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not so sure why people are so hostile to this. Indeed sexism not the only problem here. No, this is not accurate to all people and to all places in the world, and they should state that, however the driving force is still emotive.
you fail to realise that although a woman may, emphasis on 'may' because it seems to be a sketchy ideology, invest more moeny back into her family, men earn much much more, so the amount a man puts in is still probably greater, also, this sounds like a rather bias video, obviously made by a woman, typically complaining x
Not "may", but DOES. The numbers dating back decades from microfinance organizations like Grameen Bank and FINCA indicate this, and the statistics from organizations such as UNDP, CARE, Plan, the Population Council, etc. reaffrim this.
It's not based on sketchy ideology, but on decades of collected data.
This seems to be for a good cause but i doubt being this gender specific is going to help a population of people in need. Then again, being male ive probably only got a 35% chance of being right.
The point is that more than half of the population is left out of development initiatives. You need girl-focused programs in order to bridge that gap. It's not about giving girls an unfair advantage, it's about giving them equal opportunities.
right, there are some countries were women just have no human rights at all. but the problem goes beyond sexism and genre cuz it concerns to all the population.
So yeah, It says "i dare you not to look at me and only see a statistic." and yet, it makes a long list of statistics at the end in a sexism way. Hmmm...
Generally male on male violence through gangs etc is easier to identify and prevent and lots is done by the police and government to stop it. In a lot of cases it is partly the choice of the men to join and get in fights. Violence against women however is harder to detect i.e. discrimination, domestic abuse and is far more common in less developed countries. This charity focuses on girls, if you think another issue is more important then go support that charity and stop blasting this one.
@Malvinretch im a girl and i actually agree with you there (well minus the fuck the female gender part) but your right there are millions of charitys going on about how women should be helped saved or what ever but i dont think ive ever heard of a charity that just deals with male things like male on male violence. i think people just have this idea that men and boys arent as i dunno how to say it so ill just say vunerable as women so they ignor alot of problems that involve men.
The truth is that males are NOT as vulnerable as girls and women. There are no entrenched systems that hold men down, the way there are those that deny women and girls their rights.
Charities don't just pick a cause because it's sexy. If you go to their websites and the websites of various UN agencies, you can read reports and research culled from decades of statistics and on-the-ground programs that show girl-focued programs and interventions WORK.
wow just look at yourself you guys women have equal rights everyone should be treated the same! Perhaps it's just me or has the world started turning.?
thats being sexist they can only find wat girls are good for and thats all they can cum up with if boys wer included therd be a million things dat a boy can do
Have some respect. You lot are so busy chatting shit about these women and girls, your forgetting about the only reason you exsist: A WOMAN. Remeber your mothers you ignorant fools
@Laxcarl Nike and the Girl Effect are not the same. They are affiliated probably because Nike is a sponsor, but sponsorship does not mean Nike is responsible for the Girl Effect's mission, aid programs, operations or achievements. As a communications student who has studied "Corporate Social Responsibility," I ask you not to let Nike's affiliation tarnish your consideration of the Girl Effect.
@Laxcarl Sponsorship is one of many ways that non-profits secure funding; just the same, it doesn't mean they condone Nike's practices. They put Nike's name on their video as a general requirement of accepting sponsorship. If anything, this is Nike wanting to jump in on the Girl Effect's good works because Nike genuinely wants to give back or hopes the act of giving back will make them look better.
You "dare" me do you? As in, you ask for help by challenging potential supporters? :) Very well, challenge accepted.

would you state he obvious the same way if I talked about sustainable growth of an infant? no, because everybody knows that eventually (at adult size) it will stop. so why do you have trouble understanding the same (ie sustainable growth ->obviously->"as long as it is necessary" OR "in a scalable way according to local circumstances" OR "as long as it reaches the optimum level") in economics context?

@DrCOMPUT3R its not about the girl. If the girl is strong she might be able to change. But if the women in her family are not strong then that girl will be swayed to follow them. Its not about respect or value. Its about the ancestors. And what values those ancestors pass down. Women have been changing over the years, we have been fighting for equality. But in a world where there is less educated women, how will they know that they can make a difference, and not be a poster on the wall

I would like to see if women can make a healthy difference in politics worldwide. So far many women who have been in power have behaved similarly to men: Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, etc. But, maybe it's because they were surrounded mostly by men. It's time to improve the balance and find out what they can really do by empowering women worldwide to make their best contributions. Support the Central Asia Institute and others. Go girls.

If you actually look at the words, it doesn't make sense beyond being "feel guilt" propaganda. Girls are great and part of the solution, but we'll need to include girls and boys to get the a world that works for everyone.

xfelicialovesgerardx 1 year ago
who cares if Nike made it? That doesn't make it any less true. When girls are in school at age 10,11,12 & not being forced into child marriages & motherhood, they pass on what they learn to their children and the entire community. They have fewer children & make more informed decisions in matters of health, investment, & education. Girls and boys may be equal, but they certainly aren't TREATED equally in the world. Girl Effect has a great mission & a great message. Keep up the good work.

It is NOT sexist. The world is almost completely patriarchal so most women/girls are considered secondary citizens. This video is just addressing the fact that the world SHOULD invest in girls, because in the end, everyone benefits...NOT JUST girls.

It's the greedy government. Why is it that billions go into the country and nothing happens? Because the greedy rich government take a high percentage of the money and give the rest to the country. when that money is shared it ends up being pretty much worthless. Just one example is president mungabe with he's 20ft high solid gold eagle chair. He's got that and all he's people have nothing!!

you fail to realise that although a woman may, emphasis on 'may' because it seems to be a sketchy ideology, invest more moeny back into her family, men earn much much more, so the amount a man puts in is still probably greater, also, this sounds like a rather bias video, obviously made by a woman, typically complaining x
musicmanafm 1 year ago
@musicmanafm
Not "may", but DOES. The numbers dating back decades from microfinance organizations like Grameen Bank and FINCA indicate this, and the statistics from organizations such as UNDP, CARE, Plan, the Population Council, etc. reaffrim this.
It's not based on sketchy ideology, but on decades of collected data.

The point is that more than half of the population is left out of development initiatives. You need girl-focused programs in order to bridge that gap. It's not about giving girls an unfair advantage, it's about giving them equal opportunities.

Generally male on male violence through gangs etc is easier to identify and prevent and lots is done by the police and government to stop it. In a lot of cases it is partly the choice of the men to join and get in fights. Violence against women however is harder to detect i.e. discrimination, domestic abuse and is far more common in less developed countries. This charity focuses on girls, if you think another issue is more important then go support that charity and stop blasting this one.

@kittycat13458
The truth is that males are NOT as vulnerable as girls and women. There are no entrenched systems that hold men down, the way there are those that deny women and girls their rights.
Charities don't just pick a cause because it's sexy. If you go to their websites and the websites of various UN agencies, you can read reports and research culled from decades of statistics and on-the-ground programs that show girl-focued programs and interventions WORK.

WNST17 1 year ago
@Laxcarl Nike and the Girl Effect are not the same. They are affiliated probably because Nike is a sponsor, but sponsorship does not mean Nike is responsible for the Girl Effect's mission, aid programs, operations or achievements. As a communications student who has studied "Corporate Social Responsibility," I ask you not to let Nike's affiliation tarnish your consideration of the Girl Effect.
citrusarcher 1 year ago
@Laxcarl Sponsorship is one of many ways that non-profits secure funding; just the same, it doesn't mean they condone Nike's practices. They put Nike's name on their video as a general requirement of accepting sponsorship. If anything, this is Nike wanting to jump in on the Girl Effect's good works because Nike genuinely wants to give back or hopes the act of giving back will make them look better.
