The White House Project President Writes from her Australian Tour

By: The White House Project (View Profile)

Though the girls didn’t know each other before their visit to the conference, they are determined to form an alliance among themselves and to push their agenda. In fact, they expressed keen interest in coming to America to participate in our Go Run training. Perhaps an Australian sponsor could be found to fund their aspiration. Most fascinating of all: I am halfway around the world and yet I hear our strategies and messages resonate very strongly. These young women want a connection to democracy far beyond what they see in adults, and I truly believe they have a chance to reshape their homeland.

Thanks for this. Two of my great journo friends while I lived in Bangkok were Australian and they talked about the ruff and tumble men in Aussie media. I remembered my project as a broadcast journalism major and how I tracked the amount of time women experts/journos had as sources in the media compared to men. The statistics were staggering and that was over ten years ago, so I wonder how it compares today. You are doing fine work at The White House Project...keep it up!
