Hardy Girls Healthy Women's goal is to build hardiness zones to support girls' and women's healthy development. The definition of a hardiness zone flows from the understanding that fertile soil is needed in order for plants to flourish-and so it is with girls and women. It's a safe place, where women and girls have control and support for who we are and who we want to be. Hardy Girls Healthy Women works to create good soil that nurtures us, feeds our spirits and strengthens our roots. Hardy Girls Healthy Women is a grassroots organization working towards raising community awareness about the detrimental effects the culture has on girls' healthy development and providing resources for community and cultural change. Our vision is that all women and girls in Maine experience equality, independence and safety in their everyday lives.
