"We are proud to be a long-standing partner of M·A·C VIVA GLAM, and we are united in our aligned values to empower adolescent girls and young women to take control of their health and build a more equitable world," says Dr. Tommy Clark, Grassroot Soccer founder and CEO. "With the support of M·A·C Cosmetics, Grassroot Soccer programs are empowering girls and their male counterparts across sub-Saharan Africa to embrace equity, challenge harmful gender roles and stereotypes, and gain access to life-saving sexual and reproductive health information and services," he continues. "I'm proud to be celebrating International Women's Day with M·A·C Cosmetics and look forward to our continued impact together in the years to come."
The most compelling proof of the impact that Grassroot Soccer and the support of M·A·C has come from the girls themselves:
"In the past, it was very shameful for me to get contraceptives, but now I know that I have the right to visit any health facility to get health services. And if I am denied, I can always call [a Grassroot Soccer Coach] to help me out." --Elizabeth, Grassroot Soccer Participant, Zambia
"I know that I can do anything - nothing can stop me from going for my goals. I can be an independent woman, never misuse my body and be successful in life. I know that my body is mine." --Gertude, Grassroot Soccer Participant, Zimbabwe
"Young adolescents do not have that [desire] to get contraceptives in health facilities due to the fear of being judged by nurses or health workers. Since I'm an adolescent as well, it's easy for me to communicate with them about contraceptives. Girls don't have the fear of being judged." --Norah, Grassroot Soccer Coach, Zambia
