PinkStinks

A friend sent me a link the other day, and I couldn't believe how closely this organization's goal is to my own in my own senior thesis. As I explored their site, read about the women that created it, their mission statement, their role model of the month, and spent way too much time perusing their list of press links about their cause, I completely fell in love with Pinkstinks. They describe themselves as " a campaign and social enterprise that challenges the culture of pink which invades every aspect of girls' lives."

You can read all about them on their own website--I don't need to do any more copying and pasting, I think. Anyways, I think it's wonderful that there is a real movement like this on behalf of girls everywhere. They highlight people, including kids, that are making a difference--like Ebba and Phillipe who promoted awareness of a sexist Toys "R" Us Christmas catalog and created a real discussion with the giant company that now plans to produce a more gender neutral catalog.

What a positive and inspiring group. I look forward to following their progress and doing my part to contribute to Pinkstinks and bring awareness of the group to the US.
