The Girl Effect
tags:
Stumble ThisThe powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.
There are 600 million adolescent girls living in poverty in the developing world. By giving one of these girls a chance, you start the girl effect. When girls have safe places to meet, education, legal protection, health care, and access to training and job skills, they can thrive. And if they thrive, everyone around them thrives, too.

so yah equality will bring around improvment. but making a vidoi that targits just one sex ore soly 1 component of a bad system when both are fucked is fairly stupid especaily when it gose on to claim that the one component (women) is the overall solutoin which clearly is not the case.
i apreceat that you might need to targit issues for propoganda but in the end when you keep doing this you tern everyone into tards because thay never see the real issue and then wonder why things arnt all fixed when actoin is taken for the component that the propoganda adresses
I partially agree with you westy, but I think that the very thing you criticize this video for is its main strength. I may be coming at it from my own "designerly" biased background but I think that tackling this issue in this simple and straight to the point method is far more effective than any other over the top infomercial or christian children's fund ad could do.
I think the point that this video may be trying to make is not that simply helping women cures all the ills in the world but that if you can focus you efforts in some instances rather then trying to tackle every problem at once you can really begin to make a difference. By helping one woman you can potentially help an entire family, If one family is living well then there's the potential for helping even more. By no means do I see this as the saving grace to the worlds problems, but I do find it to be an incredibly worthy idea and cause that's worth fighting for.
