Procter & Gamble Commits to Helping 100 Million Girls and Women Build Confidence

P&G announces new commitment and recognizes partners at the 2015
Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–P&G announced a new Commitment to Action today at the Clinton Global
Initiative Annual Meeting to help 100 million girls and women build
confidence. The global goal aims to help girls and women boost and
maintain confidence and avoid traps that create negative feelings of
self-worth. The Company also recognized Keep a Child Alive and Walmart
for being outstanding partners in helping bring women, girls and others
in need clean drinking water through P&G’s Children’s Safe Drinking
Water (CSDW) Program.

“An estimated 50 million girls around the globe enter puberty every
year, experiencing transformative changes as they transition into
womanhood. One in two of these girls experience a drop in confidence,
and many never truly recover it. As the brand with a 30 year heritage in
educating and empowering girls and women, Always was determined to do
something about it,” said Fama Francisco, President, Global Feminine
Care. “The #LikeAGirl campaign has fueled a powerful movement that has
inspired millions of girls and women around the world, but there’s still
so much to be done. That’s why P&G is committed to using the power of
our brands, including Always, Pantene, Secret and Venus to make a
difference and help girls and women live their lives to their fullest
potential, through puberty and beyond.”

“Building a better world where girls and women are empowered requires
all of us to do our part. I applaud P&G for its leadership and for
developing creative partnerships like the one with PSI creating
entrepreneurial opportunities and instilling the confidence that help
women break down barriers,” remarked Ashley Judd, PSI global ambassador
and long-time advocate for human rights, global health and social
justice issues that affect women and other vulnerable populations.

P&G is uniquely positioned to engage millions of girls and women around
the world by offering support and teaching confidence building skills.
Over the next year, P&G brands will address the specific issues and
shared experiences of building confidence commonly faced by girls and
women.

Always, expanding on the groundbreaking #LikeAGirl campaign, will launch
the Always Global Confidence Teaching Curriculum, a program that will
benefit millions of girls around the world. The new confidence teaching
curriculum, incorporating the latest research on confidence-building, is
being co-developed by Always and education-thought leaders and experts.
The curriculum builds on Always’ 30 year heritage in puberty education.
Additionally, TED, the non-profit devoted to spreading ideas, has
committed to supporting Always in teaching confidence to young girls. In
this unique collaboration, Always and TED are working together to
develop and spread a collection of confidence-inspiring content through
TED-Ed, TED’s award-winning educational platform creating lessons worth
sharing.

• Secret’s “Mean Stinks” program is dedicated to bringing an end to
  girl-to-girl bullying by inspiring and supporting girls directly in
  their quest to end mean behavior. Secret is partnering with Teen Vogue
  to encourage girls to join the #ChainOfNice movement to pay kindness
  forward. Later this year, Secret will initiate a scholarship program
  to reward girls for their commitment to kindness and ending bullying.
• Venus launched the ”Use Your And” campaign with the aim to inspire
  women and girls to stand-up against one-dimensional labels and to
  #UseYourAnd to unleash their innate potential.
• Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths program inspires girls and women to help
  other women battling cancer feel more confident by providing free,
  real-hair wigs. Pantene will launch the 2015 Beautiful Lengths
  multi-media #8or8 campaign in September with its partners to inspire
  other girls and women to donate 8 inches or hair or $8 and join in
  their efforts to empower those fighting cancer.
