A lot has changed since earlier decades, but not the messages that we send to girls.  It is 2025 and we are still telling girls
  • “Be kind”
  • “Be nice”
  • “Be quiet about the pain, discomfort, and injustice in your life. “

This episode explores the powerful impact of listening to girls’ voices as a critical step in keeping them safe. Despite decades of activism, societal change has been slow, leaving girls vulnerable to abuse, neglect, and violence. 

We argue that empowering girls to speak, honoring their experiences, and amplifying their voices can drive the cultural and systemic shifts needed to secure their safety.
