The Jenzabar Foundation is proud to announce a new initiative that seeks to lead the way in the area of human rights for an underserved and under-represented segment of humanity:
All Girls Allowed
In China, people do not believe that “a girl is as good as a boy”.
The mission of All Girls Allowed is to restore life, value, and dignity to girls and mothers and to reveal the injustices of China’s One-Child Policy.
Since 1978, the implementation of China’s One-Child Policy has led to female gendercide, abandonment of daughters, human trafficking and violations of women’s reproductive rights. Through education, advocacy, strategic partnerships, and legal defense, All Girls Allowed strives to:
-
Mobilize the global community to advocate against the cruel methods used to enforce the One-Child Policy;
-
Educate families against gender-based pregnancy termination by easing the burden of having a baby girl with monthly stipends and a baby shower gift of clothes and food;
-
Provide legal defense and asylum counseling to mothers who are in danger of forced pregnancy termination or involuntary sterilization;
-
Support abandoned children, the vast majority of whom are girls, by raising funds for orphanages; and
-
Reunite trafficked women and children with their families.
Please visit the All Gilrs Allowed Web site to learn about many resources for involvement—from videos, articles, and facts, to opportunities for people to volunteer or donate, to social networking and an online petition.
