How strong women should use their voice to make positive change

Check out this motivational video of women using their platform to inspire future leaders

Women and girls should have the confidence to believe they can reach their dreams, and we love how this video from the UK’s Journey shows influential female leaders empowering others onward.

“You know what it’s like to be overlooked and underestimated because of who you are, or what you believe in, or where you come from. The world needs more girls like you, growing up to lead our parliaments, and our boardrooms, and our courtrooms and our universities,” shares Michelle Obama in the video.

At Children Believe, we support girls and women so they can overcome barriers, access quality education and enjoy equal opportunities to participate in decision-making in their homes, communities and countries.

Become a child sponsor today, and help empower a girl to change her future for the better.
