Girls for Gender Equity (Brooklyn, NY)
GGE Boxing Program -
Our boxing program gives girls the opportunity to participate in this
great sport in a supportive environment while learning necessary health and
nutrition information (Puberty, Asthma, HIV/AIDS, Stress) through workshops given
by GGE and collaborating organizations.
Girls who participate in sports get better grades in school, have higher graduation rates from high-school and
college, are in better physical shape, have a lower teen pregnancy rate, and are
less likely to do drugs than girls who don’t play sports.
Mission Statement -
Girls for Gender Equity is committed to the physical, psychological,
social and economic development of girls and women. Through education,
organizing and physical fitness, Girls for Gender Equity encourages communities to
remove barriers and create opportunities for girls and women to live
self-determined lives.
