welcome To girls behind this hard work!
|
Understanding the world around us has shaped our young minds to look for many more problems that are yet to be solved in this developing story we call life. By teaming up, the young girls in GBLA at CAMS are expanding their horizons to unite in order to make a different in future lives of their community. Whether it is from empowering women like us, or working to better inform our community about the events around us, we attack problems head on trying to positively impact society. This year, the decision was to help make many people's voices heard that have experienced any form of domestic violence and provide sources to which people can speak out. With a collection of voices, one large shout can be heard across the world as we work to stop and minimize violence that is occurring all around us to the extent that it diminished!

Mission statement
We, female students from the California Academy of Mathematics and Science, are here to make a change. Our main focus is to empower the young members of our community by spreading information about domestic violence in a series of informational outreach events. We aim to help develop a better educated community among both genders to prevent these issues. We will provide support and host drives to collect essentials for those who have been victims to domestic violence. It is unfortunate that matters like this are looked down upon in our society and often ignored. This project can demonstrate that one has the power to stand up for themselves or others and fight against domestic violence. It can be a traumatic event that leaves a person feeling alone, unsafe, and mentally and physically unstable. By executing this project, we are determined to bring hope and security to domestic violence victims and to ensure that issues regarding their well being will never be ignored or disregarded. Our mission is to show the public that this is an issue and that there must be initiative to end the violence.

About us
We are the female students of California Academy of Mathematics and Science, and we are determined to settle the issues of tomorrow.
The United States faces a multitude of issues, a major one being domestic violence. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, nearly 20 million people per minute are being physically abused by their partner. The voices of these victims are seldom heard. We are focused on bringing awareness and to eventually reform the way our society handles domestic abuse. We aim to bring forth the message that these victims are not alone.
In the past, we have done a project regarding underprivileged women and how they deal with the lack of availability of feminine hygienic products. A few steps we have done to raise awareness and change public judgement on menstruation: gave “period presentations” in classrooms, presented at a science symposium, held a feminine hygiene product drive with the American Red Cross of Long Beach, and sent over a hundred care packages full of feminine supplies to homeless women’s shelters in Los Angeles. We were able to create a change in this problem that people were unaware of. This year, we held a voter registration event to encourage today’s youth to vote and fix their future because we believe that it is essential to have everyone’s voice heard.
Victims of domestic abuse do not have to face their struggles by themselves. We strive to make domestic abuse to become a topic that will not be shied away.
