#BeTheNerd

It is so important that young women recognize that they can make a difference, that they can be a significant contributor to their local community and society at large, independent of their relationships to men. It is just as important for families, communities, economies, and entire countries to benefit from the extraordinary talents that young women have to offer. Show your support for women who want to #BeTheNerd by rocking this hot pink shirt today.

All profits will be donated to Let Girls Learn. Let Girls Learn is a United States government initiative designed to ensure adolescent girls get the education they deserve. Around the world, girls face complex physical, cultural, and financial barriers to accessing education. As a girl grows older the fight to get an education becomes even harder. Her family must be willing to pay school fees. She may have a long, unsafe walk to school. She may be forced to marry. And she often lacks the support she needs to learn. Yet, we know that educating girls can transform lives, families, communities, and entire countries. When girls are educated, they lead healthier and more productive lives. They gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to break the cycle of poverty and help strengthen their societies. It’s time to Let Girls Learn.
