The petition is supported by the work of Hardy Girls Healthy Women (HGHW). Hardy Girls is a non-profit organization dedicated to the health and well being of girls and women. The organization's vision is that all girls and women experience equality, independence, and safety in their everyday lives. To that end, HGHW's mission is to create opportunities, develop programs, and provide services that empower them. HGHW sees girls not as the sum of any particular pathology (self-cutting, disordered eating, drug use) or struggle (body image, self-esteem, early sexual activity), but as whole beings living within and affected by a variety of social systems. With increased control in their lives, greater challenge from adults, and closer commitment to their communities, girls will and do thrive.
