Be Educated! Get Involved!
There are many organizations that are fighting against the sexualization and objectification of girls and women. One of these organizations is SPARK: http://www.sparksummit.com/
This is a movement partnered with many other organizations fighting to push back against the sexualized images of girlhood within our media. SPARK focuses on Action, Resistance, and Knowledge to combat these issues.
