What a fabulous way to celebrate Women’s History Month: “helping empower girls and women to succeed,” as suggested by Lisa Levine in the March 17 column “See it, believe it, become it.”
One of the most empowering paths is education, in our country and around the world. Among the organizations most effectively doing advocacy work to empower women and girls is Results (results.org). It is currently working to make permanent the increases to the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit passed in the latest pandemic relief package. This would significantly cut poverty, which too often affects women.
On the global level, Results volunteers are asking Congress to increase support of the Global Partnership for Education, helping low-income countries increase the quality and quantity of education, especially for girls. So find your way to help empower girls, women and yourself and make a difference in the process.
