In taking on topics like gender equality, women’s rights, beauty and double standards, here are some campaigns created to empower and promote women, their worth and their power to impact.

1.HeForShe

HeForShe was initiated by UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, Emma Watson, to advocate for gender equality around the world. According to its website, it is a “solidarity movement for gender equality that brings together one-half of humanity in support of the other half of humanity, for the benefit of all.” It aims to involve men and boys in the movement to support women’s rights and gender equality between men and women.

2.Chime for Change

Led by Frida Giannini, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Salma Hayek Pinault, this campaign aims to empower women and girls. Founded by Gucci, it utilizes a global concert event, documentary films and other facets to shine a light on the stories of women and girls.

3.Dove Campaign for Real Beauty

Inspired by the results from a global study, this campaign acknowledges that a wider definition of beauty is needed. Since its launch in 2004, it has encouraged discussion about beauty, as it is not only defined by stereotypical standards, through online discussion, a short film, the Dove Self-Esteem Fund, a Super Bowl commercial and a mentoring program.

4.Always #LikeAGirl

This ad campaign began with a groundbreaking Super Bowl commercial, which aired in 2014. The campaign aims to shatter the negative connotations associated with the phrase “like a girl.”

5.#AskHerMore

This Twitter campaign aims to reform the questions that are asked of actresses on the red carpet. While specific questions are directed at women and what they are wearing, the campaign seeks to challenge reporters to ask questions to highlight more about the celebrities beyond their appearances.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
