Did you know that today, women represent just 12% of all computer science graduates? In 1984, they represented 37%. Did you also know that women are less likely to perceive they have the capability to start a business, and statistics consistently show that women earn less than men across many industries?
COVERGIRL Announces Girls Can Campaign With Journalist, Soledad O’Brien — Turn Your ‘Cant’s’ Into ‘Cans’
These are just some of the reasons why COVERGIRL recently launched the #GirlsCan campaign — a movement with a mission to empower young women to overcome barriers to break boundaries, so they can become the next generation to rock the world. To enable this, COVERGIRL has pledged a minimum of $5 million over the next 5 years to support the work of individuals and non-profit organizations with the same passion. This fall, you can help the #GirlsCan cause by purchasing specially marked #GirlsCan Mascaras, which are available now in key retailers nationwide.
For each one sold, COVERGIRL will donate $1 to the following non-profits that help women break barriers and blaze trails including:
· Step Up: Step Up implements after-school and weekend mentorship programs in under-resources communities, empowering teen girls to be college-bound and career-focused.
· Girls Who Code: Girls Who Code is leading the movement to inspire, educate and equip young woman with the computing skills to close the gender gap in technology.
· Soledad O’Brien & Brad Raymond Starfish Foundation: The Starfish Foundation helps young women get to and through college by providing financial assistance, mentoring and wraparound support to help them achieve their full potential.
· Dress for Success: Dress for Success provides professional attire, a network of support and career development tools for disadvantaged women.
