SPARK – Sexualization Protest: Action, Resistance, Knowledge
What is SPARK?
SPARK stands for Sexualization Protest: Action, Resistance, Knowledge.
SPARK is both a Summit and a Movement
designed to push back
against the increasingly sexualized images of girlhood in the media
and create room for whole girls and healthy sexuality.
SPARK will engage teen girls to be part of the solution
rather than to protect them from the problem.
