Girl, Me Too Day
Fostering unity, women empower, uplift, and champion one another, creating a powerful network of solidarity.
Even when women are different from one another, with diverse backgrounds and experiences, they can also find similar struggles and empathize with one another. Girl, Me Too Day is here to increase the mutual understanding and support given to and received by women from all walks of life, with the hope of building a better future for our daughters.
History of Girl, Me Too Day
The roots of this day can be followed back to the founding of the Girl, Me Too Movement, which was established in 2016 by Symonia Montgomery. The movement was founded to promote the healing, empowerment, and education of women while encouraging healthy relationships.
The purpose behind the Girl, Me Too Day is to recognize the strength and endurance of women of all ages, showing support and coming alongside each other through thick and thin. In addition, Girl, Me Too Day brings hopes that it will make an impact on all women throughout neighborhoods, cities, nations and the world, when shopkeepers, sisters, friends and even strangers take a step toward connection and care by lifting each other up and encouraging one another in a show of solidarity – not only today but as a habit every day.
