The Center for Research on Women and Nike are collaborating on a project called Girl Declaration. The goal is to get voices of girls around the world heard. Over 500 girls between the ages of 10 and 19, growing up in developing countries, were asked to share their dreams and concerns in order to garner awareness for issues that face young women everyday worldwide.
Advocates are hoping that projects like this one will help to sway the new United Nations' Millenium Development Goals, which they begin working on next year.
Check out the story that NPR ran to see pictures and see what the girls are talking about.
