She Creates Change is a bold step forward in Room to Read’s mission to support all adolescents, particularly girls, with content that supports foundational life skills and promotes gender equality.
She Creates Change celebrates the remarkable true stories of girls discovering their power.
She Creates Change tells the true stories of Dewmini, Keya, Trang, Diksha, Yashika and Naifat, six courageous girls from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Nepal, India and Tanzania. Each confronts barriers to their education with foundational life skills learned through Room to Read’s gender equality programming — decision-making, leadership, critical thinking, collaboration and resilience. With the support of Room to Read, the girls use the power of their voices to advocate for change.
There are 432 million adolescent girls in the world right now between the ages of 12 and 18. We can support all of them with educational and inspirational stories that give them the tools to create lasting change for themselves, their families and future generations.
With She Creates Change, Room to Read aims to do just that.
In loving memory of Susan Diane Wojcicki (1968–2024) who encouraged girls everywhere to be bolder and braver.
“Don’t apologize for your ambition. And always be an advocate for yourself … I would love for young girls to realize that … they can build community amongst each other.”
“Listening to all the girls’ stories I felt inspired. I felt like I could do anything.”
“This movie beautifully portrays the diverse experiences of young girls from different regions, shedding light on the importance of education in shaping their futures. Every girl deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to thrive.”
“From the film I learned about brave young girls fighting for a hopeful beacon. I felt their pain, and their happiness.”
“All girls should be able to fulfill their dreams, regardless of the circumstances they are born in … She Creates Change, Room to Read demonstrates exactly what can — and does — happen when young women are supported to learn and imagine their own futures.”
“She Creates Change is a window into another culture, and the girls you see are just like us.”
“The pure magic of storytelling is to be able to transcend our preconceived limitations and ultimately connect to each other in the most truthful way possible … She Creates Change amplifies the voices of so many beautiful, strong and incredible children around the world.”
“I felt inspired to use the resources around me to be creative and find a solution to a problem after watching She Creates Change.”
