I came across a website containing feminist issues like aging, body image, family, health...etc. It also has articles, news, campaign meetings, and events listed for feminists all over the world. I watched a video from the website called The clock is Ticking. It's about one of the issues that young women in poverty face and how it effects their life and the possible solution-girl effect. "The girl effect is the unique potential of 600 million adolescent girls to end poverty for themselves and the world". The clock is literally ticking as million of girls are reaching that adolescent stage which will set her course in her adult life. The goal is to reach the girl in time to make sure she receives the education, health care, and skills necessary to live a decent life. You can put the video on your facebook and spread the message.
You can watch the video by directly going to the website below.

That is really neat!! It kind of goes along with a site I found about a program called WOW-Women Of Work... this program is trying to help women get out of poverty and live better lives!
