Passion seems to be the key/People who are proud and carry out their job with care - that's the way forward.It used to be called vocation. It should not come as a surprise thought, but these days it's so rare.. that's a shame! Love it.Thanks so much for sharing!

I worked for Planned Parenthood in the early 1980's and was convinced at that time, that the accessibility of contraception was one of the most important factors in changing global poverty. This project takes the discussion to the next level. Thank you so much!! Hi Nancy–

Awareness creation, motivation through live real examples of success stories and improving emotional intelligence will be a better approach. Very often education is being overemphasized and is becoming counter productive.

Everyone really liked it. The idea was to reflect on what you had gained from different people within a community of practice. Everyone went around sticking their post-it comments on the relevant person's back. I collected them, and read a few out so people could guess who they related to. Kindof a public/private feedback session! Rachel Hi Nancy

Bev, how much of our "ignoring of the data" has to do with our own national and institutional sexism and how much to do with the nature of patriarchal and tribal societies? raincoaster - I hear ya!

Bev, how much of our “ignoring of the data” has to do with our own national and institutional sexism and how much to do with the nature of patriarchal and tribal societies?

There is something hugely wrong that we are taking so long to do something about it.

As you point out, the entry page is in Flash. Not only is this hard to copy, unless one has a relatively robust and contemporary computer, it will crash on playing the video. Mine did. And mine crashes 50% of the time when I try to open a PDF as well. Virality is important, and the changes you suggest will help The Girl Effect achieve that, but before virality comes accessibility. Not everyone in the world has a MacBook Pro. Thanks for your post. As you point out, the entry page is in Flash.
