Check Out Our Survey Results!



This year our troop worked on the Girltopia Journey.  As we worked through the requirements, we realized that we felt strongly about the injustices women and girls around the world face.  We were so surprised by some of the things we learned, that we wanted to educate others about them.

For our final Take Action project, we developed a series of questions about the obstacles females face.  We conducted on camera interviews and online surveys.  Our goal was to get people thinking about these obstacles and what they might do about them.  We also wanted to find out what "feminism" means to people.

Listed below are the questions with the answers.  Some of the answers may shock you!  We hope this starts lots of conversations in your home, with your friends, or at your school or work.

If you participated in the online survey or were interviewed on camera, thank you for helping us out!
