Texas Girls Are Not Okay

I’ve recently had the privilege of working with Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas (GSNETX), and Genuine Article on the State of the Texas Girl report. What makes the report powerful isn’t just the data, but what the data reveals about where Texas is falling short for our girls.

And it is alarming.

Texas ranks 41st in the nation for girls’ overall well-being, and dead last for physical well-being. Nearly a quarter of girls spend more than four hours a day on screens. And perhaps the most troubling: fewer than 1 in 3 girls can read proficiently.
