They may use information about your visits to the Websites and other sites to personalize advertisements for goods and services. We and our third-party vendors or partners use analytics data for a variety of purposes such as to improve the design and content of our Websites, to help us learn things like what pages are most attractive to all of our visitors and what promotions visitors like to see, and to gauge the success of our advertising campaigns.

Advocacy Policy

To advocate is to support or recommend to others a specific course of action in policy, causes, or issues. At Girl Museum, we advocate within the context of our mission, values and vision in order to ignite passion for and individual action on girls’ rights and issues around the world. We also use advocacy to build a stronger, more connected Girl Museum community.

Our mission statement is broad. In order to be most effective in our advocacy efforts, we limit our involvement to policies that we have expertise in or that we have a stated interest in. This expertise may arise from our mission, programs, staff, or board. Our stated interests include:

The use of art and history to inform social issues related to girls’ rights;

Cultural and creative activities that provide opportunities for and/or give voice to girls and their experiences;

State, national, and international policies impacting the rights, health, and vitality of girls.

Girl Museum advocacy work may include:

Building relationships with and attempting to influence partner organizations, policy makers, and funders who are working on these stated areas of interest.

Attempting to shape or influence legislation related to these stated areas of interest.

Championing and directing the public to support our position.

Informing and educating the public about issues in this regard.

In the case that an outside individual or organization seeks Girl Museum’s participation in an advocacy effort not initiated by Girl Museum, the request will be handled via the following process:

A request is made for support.

A request must be presented in writing, including:

A website or relevant links.

Written language that thoroughly explains the platform.

A list of co-signers and attached individuals to the request.

It must comply with our organizational mission and be in support of our programs, collaborators, and/or employees.

Head Girl reviews the request and determines to see if it meets the criteria.

Head Girl provides a recommendation to the Board with relevant materials.

Board reviews materials and votes to endorse, reject, or stay silent on the issue.

Additional Notes:

1. As a 501c(3) nonprofit organization, Girl Museum will not institutionally endorse any candidate for any purpose in any election.
2. With the exception of the Head Girl, all Girl Museum staff and trustees are free to advocate for issues on any topic in their personal lives. However, when doing so, they must indicate clearly that they are acting as private citizens and not as the representative of this organization.
