The problem with this theory is that it doesn't really emphasize how money and science are mechanisms used to increase equality/living standards/poverty/illnesses/ov
erpopulation ect. I do however understand that their has to be sociological changes as well. The UN is already implementing many policies/institutions/processe s that aid the people in the third world. We must not forget that contributions men have to make in order for the "girl" effect to occur. Let's focus on the "peoples effect". -
@WolfKissesStudios Can you prove to me that they do in fact use child labor? Did you visit the web site of this organization and really try to figure out what they're about? Have you read their book? It does not look like you have really looked into this, because if you have, you would be looking at the bigger picture. Would you rather work or not work? Or would you complain about your age or your disabilities? Contribute to your family's income or sleep in a mud hut?

@AnonymousJonny How old are those girls? How much are they paid? How are they treated in the factories? Are you willing to provide videos of the conditions in these factories? ACTUAL videos? Answer me that.

@WolfKissesStudios Nike uses labor from girls working in factories in Asia. Were it not for companies like Nike, those factory girls would not have factory jobs and be in worse poverty than they are already in. Read up on this program before you accuse anyone.

@Robing6 Why you brought occupy into this is a mind boggling thought process to me.

@girleffect Nike Foundation? You mean Nike the sports company that uses child labor? The country that PUT that girl into poverty? The country that KEEPS HER IN POVERTY? Am I wrong? Then correct me.

Imagine a girl in poverty. NO SRSLy!!
Tell her to take out a loan for a cow.
After a couple months, the cow dies of disease.
Revenue from the cow doesn't cover the loan, and the bank is not sympathetic.
Shit happens. Don't ask people who have nothing to fall back on to take these kinds of risks. If you want education, you must first focus on economy. Economy has come first in all developed countries. Education comes from parents until basic needs are taken care of.

@BringYerOwnBomb because this particular org. is targeting girls since they are the poorest of the poor around the world. especially single mothers.
and there is a saying that if you educate a girl you educate a village, since that girl will be able to provide for her children and send them to school as fell and the children will do the same for their children and so on.
they think that targeting girls who usual are not educated and do not contribute, would help bring families out of poverty.

"The Slippery Slope is a fallacy in which a person asserts that some event must inevitably follow from another without any argument for the inevitability of the event in question. In most cases, there are a series of steps or gradations between one event and the one in question and no reason is given as to why the intervening steps or gradations will simply be bypassed."
I love the concept of empowering girls and alleviating poverty and the problems it entails, but there are some steps missing.

@starjane19 Hi, there! It was created by the Nike Foundation, produced by Wieden+Kennedy Portland & directed by Man vs. Magnet, in association with the production company Curious Pictures. The music in the video is by Elias Arts. Hope this helps!
