From Valentine’s Day to International Women’s Day on March 8th, young women will share opinions and stories by connecting on www.kickaction.ca. This year, young women will be blogging about #CyberFeminism, Kicking Butt, Role Models and Leadership and more!
The Carnival kicks off on V-Day, which is also the National Day of Action, Girls Action Foundation’s annual event to raise awareness about the challenges faced by girls and young women. The Day of Action provides resources and opportunities that empower girls and young women to institute change in their lives, their communities and in the wider society.
The www.kickaction.ca Blogging Carnival’s objective is to provide an activity that is accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. The Carnival creates a space for young women to address the issues they face and to exchange comments and thoughts.
Despite popular belief, young women are not victims of the media, but actively use media and the Internet for their own goals. They are organizing, mobilizing, expressing themselves, building communities, critiquing and creating something new, and we’re inviting you to take part!
