The Physical activity

While young girls may be taking global and local activism to the Internet, another positive observation is that national networks and organizations in particular are now clearly articulating their role as advocates for girls’ gender-based programming in Canada. The YWCA National and Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sports and Physical Activity are two such organizations. Girls Inc. has also identified a role for itself in advocating for positive media attention and policy change, although there is not a critical mass of Canadian-based affiliates as yet to move forward on its agenda.
