Global Girl Media is a coalition of women broadcasters and journalists from around the world that has recognized that much mainstream reporting focuses on flash points of violence, celebrity or disaster, while the everyday experience and voice of the invisible majority, particularly young women, passes silently under the radar.
GGM puts girls at the center of the story, training a future generation of female citizen journalists. It is dedicated to empowering high-school-age girls from under-served communities through media, leadership and journalistic training to have a voice in the global media universe and their own futures.
