GIRLS INC. PRESENTS G DAY

HEY MY NAME IS GENOA. I GO TO SKYLINE HIGH SCHOOL AND I AM APART OF A GIRLS INC PROGRAM CALLED EUREKA! IN EUREKA I WAS ABLE TO BE APART OF THE 2010 G DAY. G DAY WAS A REALLY FUN EXPERIENCE AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND I HOPE GIRLS INC. GETS TO CONTINUE TO DO G DAY FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME. I ALSO THINK THAT GIRLS INC SHOULD CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE ALL GIRLS TO BE STRONG SMART AND BOLD!

G DAY IS GIRLS INC.S WAY OF CELEBRATING V DAY; V-Day is a global activist movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sex slavery.

GIRLS INC. HAS TURNED V DAY INTO G DAY TO MAKE IT MORE GIRL FRIENDLY, AND TO APPEAL TO A YOUNGER AUDIENCE  TO HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT V DAY STANDS FOR.

THREE YEARS AGO GIRLS INC. HAD A “G DAY” AND HAD SOME GIRLS PERFORM SOME MONOLOGUES  OF A PERSON THAT THEY INTERVIEWED AND THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT IN THERE LIVES… HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF GIRLS INC 2007 G DAY:
