All Girls Allowed

Hi Folks,

This new non-profit group is fighting against "gendercide," forced abortions and sterilizations in China.

All Girls Allowed was founded by Chai Ling, two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and former chief student leader in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Movement.

The mission of All Girls Allowed is to restore life, value, and dignity to girls and mothers, and to reveal the injustice of China's One-Child Policy.

Since 1980, 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.

All Girls Allowed is an initiative of the Jenzabar Foundation, Inc.

Folks--

All Girls Allowed is brand new-- I think it just started this month. Kind of fitting since November is National Adoption Month here in the US-- not sure about other countries. Since it is new, there is no track record of how money has been spent.

I will be leaving this information on my blog -- view right side bar and keeping my eye on this Charity.
