Program Instills Leadership In Teenage Girls In Myanmar, Where Their Opinions Are Often Unheard

An organization is inspiring girls to dream big and challenge traditional gender roles.

In Myanmar, the Girl Determined organization holds weekly after-school peer groups to empower girls ages 12-17. The nonprofit, which was founded in 2010, works with girls across the country, from the most remote regions to populated urban centers. The program’s aim is to show the girls their full potential while giving them the confidence to speak up in a society where their opinions often go unheard.
