I came across an amazing campaign that aims to empower young girls and women to fight against sexualization in the media. This campaign could not be better timed, with horrifying images accosting young girls and women every day. Visit <a href="http://www.sparksummit.com/">http://www.sparksummit.com/</a>. Living outside of the US, I don't see nearly as much of this negative media portrayal, but it is still there. I would love to get the opinions of women around the world on what they see in their media--is there as much sexualization and negative images of women in your country? What is being done to combat this and empower women to speak up? Kind regards, Rachael
