SPARK Movement

I am so excited to learn about the SPARK movement. SPARK began as a response to the The Report of the APA Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls, which made a clear distinction between healthy sexuality (a developmental task we all have to integrate into our lives; allows for intimacy and is linked to positive feelings) and sexualization  (uses girls’ and women’s bodies as a marketing tool; is linked to depression, low self-esteem and eating disorders). This movement was designed to engage girls (ages 13-22) to be part of the solution by working directly with them through events and blogging as well as collaborating with other national partner organizations. I’m frequently asked what can be done to combat sexualization of girls in the media, and this is an excellent place to go to for ideas on how to do just that. I highly recommend this organization!
