Investing in Women & GirlsThe “Investing in Women & Girls” campaign is a publication series that promotes positive change for women and girls around the world. Reaching the hands of high profile influencers like Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Hillary Rodham Clinton, along with everyday global readers from the US to Bangladesh, the “Investing in Women & Girls” report empowers individuals to engage in a movement, and unites companies and organizations in a worldwide dialogue.
■■ Released twice a year, the series raises awareness of the potential women and girls have as the world’s greatest untapped resource and highlights the idea that investing in women and girls is crucial in achieving global economic progress, political stability and greater prosperity for women, and men, around the world.
Each edition reaches 3 million+ readers and is launched as a special 16-24 page broadsheet section of USA Today. The distribution is designed to ensure the publication reaches both the general public through USA Today, as well as the advocacy community, key opinion leaders, CEO’s, stakeholders and influencers through additional targeted print, digital and social media platforms.
The next edition will be released in March 2012 to align with International Women’s Day.
