The Girl Effect
Arizona Women’s Forum & Charter 100
Investing in girls changes the world. Arizona leaders Tamara Woodbury, President and CEO of the Arizona CactusPine Girl Scout Council and The Honorable Barbara Barrett, President and CEO of Triple Creek Ranch, advocate for girls and women. They brought their vision and insights about The Girl Effect to a joint luncheon meeting of Charter 100 and Arizona Women’s Forum. Local Girl Scout Alexis La Benz, recipient of the National Young Woman of Distinction 2011 Girl Scouts USA award, talked about her efforts to create awareness about human trafficking from a teen perspective. “If even one person is changed by this website (teensontrafficking.com) by knowing the skills to protect themselves, or even by reporting the abuse of someone else, then that is worth it to me,” she said.
