Girley: Girls and money explore the effect that societal gender roles affect the way society view money, and how gender inequality and domestic abuse are worsened by these antiquated standards. Girley is about forging a path towards true gender equality through a mostly overlooked tool: financial education. The creation of a financial education app for girls is an important step in this long process, the creation of Girley will change the way we relate and teach about money to girls worldwide. Catherine "Marie" Mellett Felix is an immigrant from the south of Mexico and a feminist at heart. Her work in activism centers around creating effective and spreadable ways of improving society’s values towards a more gender-equal environment. Coming from Latin america, she has viewed closely the underlying rules that are created to keep women oppressed, some obvious and easier to confront, and some unspoken ways in which society has always functioned and will continue to if there isn’t action from everyone. She will continue her work in calling her generation to act on this and many other current world issues within the foreseeable future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
