I have so many global daughters throughout the world and over the years, they have shared with me their stories of leadership, determination and strength. I kept thinking that I can’t be the only one to hear these stories. The world needs to hear how powerful our girls truly are!” says Julia Lynch, Founding Director of Global Girl Project. A social worker with more than 22 years’ experience, Lynch has worked in Haiti, Brazil, Sierra Leone, India and Nepal, with the youth that are a part of GGP partner programs in each of these countries. She works in partnership with NGOs and schools globally to implement and run leadership programs and initiatives for girls throughout the developing world. Lynch shares, “Nobody ever told me that I had power as a woman. If I had known that a lot earlier in my life, I might have made some different choices. I want our girls to not only know that they are powerful BECAUSE they are women, but that they can use that power to create true and impactful community change.”
