The Girl Effect é um projeto conjunto da Nike Foundation e NoVo Foundation para criar oportunidades para garotas e para o mundo.

Mas porque garotas? Enquanto a mídia e a sociedade as ignoram, elas são capazes de aumentar o padrão de vida dos países em desenvolvimento e também são muito mais propensas a mudanças.

Entenda a importância das garotas para o mundo:

• Quando uma garota de países em desenvolvimento recebe 7 ou mais anos de educação, ela se casa 4 anos mais tarde e tem menos filhos.
• Um ano extra no ensino fundamental significa um aumento de 10 a 20% na renda. 1 ano extra no ensino médio significa um aumento de 15 a 25%.
• 90% do salário das mulheres são reinvestidos na família.

A Gap lançou um projeto muito interessante chamado “SOUND OF COLORS“. Eles contrataram The Raveonettes, Dntel, Swizz Beatz, The Blakes e Marié Digby para criarem, cada um, uma música para uma cor.

O trabalho é muito interessante, vale a pena conferir como cada um interpreta algo tão amplo quanto uma cor.
