Teen girls are heavily influenced by what they watch in the media. In the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region, the media portrays teen girls and young women negatively over 78% of the time, according to the report, "Countering the Negative Image of Arab Women in the Arab Media." The media frequently objectifies girls and suggests that they are illiterate, materialistic, opportunistic, weak and/or dependent.
At this critical moment in the MENA region’s evolution, we urgently need to inspire girls and young women in the region and offer them positive female role models!
W4’s field partner Project Soar has developed a 50+ hour empowerment curriculum to help teen girls recognize their Value, Voice, Body, Rights, and Path. This girl-centered program is led by empowerment facilitators in 30+ locations across Morocco and beyond.
To amplify the positive impact of this innovative program, Project Soar aims to launch a new online TV channel, called Soar TV, to inspire and empower girls in the MENA region.
Soar TV, hosted on YouTube, will offer exciting, “non-traditional” content targeting an audience of girls aged 13-22. Animated and hip “talk-show” style hosts will deliver Soar TV news and interviews in Darija and Modern Standard Arabic (and a mix). The channel will use props, music, and surprise guests to help create content that is fun and engaging for the audience.
The news and interviews will highlight the accomplishments of :
