Your story can be about a woman who has deeply inspired your life, your hope or dream for every girl in the world, or about a specific issue related to gender equality that resonates with you. For bonus points, make a video of yourself holding the sign and telling your story!

I will Stand Up for Girls with LitWorld on October 11th. I am standing up because around the world 150 million girls are not in school. I want to know their stories. I want their ideas to change our world. Please take a stand with me. Visit litworld.org/standupforgirls to download your own sign and tell me your #standup4girls story!
Stand up for girls! I invite you to advocate with me for girls everywhere, and the power they should each have to live their fullest dreams. This power comes from literacy, a powerful tool that breaks the heartbreaking barriers of poverty and liberates girls to live in freedom. Join with me on October 11 to #standup4girls with LitWorld, on Facebook, on Twitter, and everywhere.
My life has been inspired by the stories of many powerful and inspiring women and girls, so I will #standup4girls on the October 11th Day of the Girl. This year I'm standing up in honor of my aunt who is a breast cancer survivor, a lover of all living creatures and one of the few people who can make me laugh until my cheeks hurt. I don't know where I would be without her stories, her fearlessness, her guidance, her love. Won't you #standup4girls with me? http://litworld.org/standupforgirls
