I’d love you to join me (Topsie Ogunyade Egbetokun) and other women during Social Media Week for a dynamic conversation about the role of social media in empowering and enabling girls to realize their potential.
For the first time in history, girls are a priority on the global development agenda, and world leaders far and wide are listening to girls’ voice like never before.
I will be on the panel with amazing array of girls from across Nigeria to discuss and share how social media has given them a platform to raise their voices, create social change in their communities, and influence their international decision-making process.
WHEN: Tuesday February 19, 2013 at 3:00PM – 4:30PM
WHERE: PEGS HUB: Lagos e-Learning Centre, Odunlami Street, Lagos, Lagos State

The Girl Hub is a strategic collaboration between the UK’s Department for International Development(DFID) and the Nike Foundation. This partnership helps transform the lives of adolescent girls currently living in poverty by engaging the girls themselves as active participants.
Girl Hub seeks to empower millions of adolescent girls. Drawing on the expertise of both DFID and Nike Foundation, we use a unique combination of expertise about and insights from adolescent girls, social communications, investment in innovative approaches and influencing to deliver results for girls at scale.
The girl effect is a movement. It’s about the unique potential of adolescent girls to end poverty for themselves and the world. It’s about getting girls on to the global development stage and driving massive resources to them.
The girl effect launched in 2008 accompanied by a film that caught the imagination of people the world over. The message of these films remains the same. Watch them and get the simple case for supporting girls here.
Girleffect.org exists to help development practitioners and the wider girl effect community continue to make a powerful case for supporting girls, and to equip them to do the best work with and for girls. Explore the site and you’ll find a whole range of tools and resources ready for you to use.
