The smallest initiatives taken toward uplifting and empowering women have a positive, long lasting effect. In today’s world, women are achieving great things and are acting as promoters of change. It’s A Girl Thing is a much-needed initiative aimed at encouraging girls around the world and helping them realize their true potential.”

American actor, producer, and creator Liza Koshy said “It’s A Girl Thing is an excellent platform for girls around the world to use their creativity and talent to become movers and shakers.

Starting with India and spreading across the globe, this initiative brings together young women from all backgrounds to become the next champions of climate change and leaders in sustainability.
