Help your feminist friends achieve a gender-equal future with a holiday gift that matters. Learn more.
Are you compiling a mental list of feminist holiday gift ideas for your friend?
Don’t throw your hands up in defeat when you realize your friend already has “The Future is Female” coffee mug at their desk and the “Smash the Patriarchy” dish towel in their kitchen.
What if you shared a gift that gives a gender equality advocate the chance to transform their passion into action?
With a GlobalGiving Gift Card, your friend can join forces with feminist leaders like Ann Kungu in Kenya.
Ann and Carolina for Kibera are blazing a path forward in East Africa, challenging the idea that gender equality can be reached with a singular focus on girls. Ann’s work to connect local women to new career pathways also includes the mentoring of young boys to unlearn the negative behaviors that define manhood.
You can cross off one more item to wrap, and the bestie gets the chance to crush cultural barriers to girls’ education. This Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah—or whatever your loved ones will be celebrating—a GlobalGiving eCard opens the door to thousands of ways to advance gender equality in local communities across the world.
Maybe you’re thinking about what might be a good token of appreciation for the other feminists in your life—the teachers, coworkers, counselors, and yoga instructors who inspire you to break through the ceilings in your own experience. Your search ends here!
Your feminist friends likely know the sobering facts. That it will take 99 years to realize gender parity at the current rate—with women’s representation lagging behind men’s in emerging workforce roles, political offices, and economic realms. By 2050, women will still make 30% less than men worldwide. They know what Emma Watson knows: “If you stand for equality,” she said back in 2015, “then you’re a feminist.”
A GlobalGiving eCard gives them the opportunity to build a brighter future for women and girls, from increasing access to menstrual care in Lebanon to training the next generation of barrier busters in the Dominican Republic. We don’t have to wait until 2050 if we act together, and small acts like a gift card for gender equality can make a difference.
Attach a personal note to a printable PDF that makes for a perfect stocking stuffer, and you have yourself a thoughtful present that will far outlast the “GirlBoss” T-shirt that’s been hanging up in your friend’s closet since last December. Even easier—you can skip the printing and send a personalized email ahead of the next holiday. It will feature the hopeful photo featured above. It’s from the ATMA Foundation, which provides shelter and education to girls experiencing homelessness in India.
Give the gift of action this holiday season. Invest in the future of gender equality with a GlobalGiving Gift Card.
