a BIG thank you to all that made this project great..


The IBG project has officially ended, for now at least (but the blog will go on). With this occasion we would like to extend a BIG thank you to all who have been involved and contributed to the project. We couldn't have done it without you!

Here are a few of the many ways you helped our small project be a BIG success:


Since the launch of the I♥BG blog, we've had more than 7100 unique visitors from 109 different countries around the world.



You helped organize 11 I♥BG Tea-parties in 10 countries, where more than 120 young people participated in discussions on gender. 



You helped us create an amazing E-book filled with empowering stories which will help inspire others to overcome the challenges they face.



You helped us spread the word and empower girls and young women all over the world:


“It’s not about gender, it’s about you! You decide! Stigmatization, discrimination, they’re all there, they’ll always be, but it’s up to you to prove the world wrong, and more importantly, to prove yourself right.”
Participant in Romania

“There are numerous things which girls can feel proud of. But, important thing to understand and to realize is your inner strength. Rejoice every moment of life, developing such a spirit that would always make you think optimistic.”
Participant in Nepal

“There are many things that can be told about what it is like to be a girl. We are complicated, persistent and we always get what we want. But the secret is – sometimes finding out what we want is the hardest thing of all. But when a girl says "I love being a girl" - she means it, which is one of the few things she is sure of.”
Participant in Macedonia


You made us proud to present our project at more than 10 international events and meetings and helped us gain the support from many other youth networks and organisations.



So thank you for all your support and be sure to check the blog again soon. We promise we have a lot more in store for you.
