The Girl Effect - Beautiful Use of Animated Typography

The Girl Effect - "the idea that adolescent girls are uniquely capable of raising the standard of living in the developing world" - is portrayed in this beautiful video using animated typography. I think the music plays a pretty big role in making this work too.

Somehow it seems fitting for this Independence Day. Happy 4th of July.

    One very jarring note at the beginning revealed the mind-set of the maker.
    According to this, having a husband is a problem, is bad, is nothing but a drag on the GIRL.
    What, did Betty Friedan produce this?

    Moses, are you being facetious? I sure hope so, if not then I hope you misunderstood this is about *adolescent* girls, not grown women.

    An *adolescent* girl with a husband in the poorer countries this is directed at is very unlikely to finish school or go on to do anything illustrated in the video.
