What happens when a dad raises his daughter to believe that she can do anything, and then sends her out into a world with unequal career opportunities, workplaces built by men for men, a massive gender pay gap, and deeply-ingrained gender stereotypes?
Dads who are committed to seeing their daughters achieve their dreams have both a responsibility and an opportunity to change the world that their daughters will enter. Dads for Daughters will be the call to action to launch this new phase of the gender equality revolution. Together, dads of daughters can help create the world that all dads envision for their daughters.
