New exhibition at Girl Museum: Girl Activists

May 15, 2021

Girl Activists

Girl Museum invites you to see the new exhibition “Girl Activists”.

Girl activists have taken center stage in media and culture. From all corners of the world, girls are standing up for their rights, the rights of others, and the rights of planet Earth. These girls – all under the age of 21 – are leading the way in issues surrounding education, environmental and climate change, and social justice (excluding suffrage, which we covered in Young Suffrage).
Through their stories, and insights from two renowned researchers in young girls’ activism, we seek to spark discussion on girl power as a force for social good and spread awareness of the movements, and movers, leading the way to a better world.
