INTRODUCTION

Legendary political cartoonist Pat Bagley of the Salt Lake Tribune has donated a very special print of one of his most viral cartoons ever honoring Nobel Laureate, Malala. Malala is widely regarded as one of the most influential human rights advocates of our generation.

We are living in unthinkable times—here in the U.S. and across the globe—and this moment is an opportunity to shape the future for half the world’s population: girls and women.

Malala said recently: "I never imagined women's rights would be lost so easily."

We couldn't agree more with Malala. #SheBelongs, a special program of Utah-based Refugee Soccer, is a tenaciously-focused global movement taking action to fight against the rapid erosion of these rights, the dignity, and the opportunities for girls everywhere. (See recent article featured in the Salt Lake Tribune here.)

The power of Malala's extraordinary example and our shared message of equality and inclusion for girls is beautifully captured in this historic piece by Pat, created just six days after she was shot on her way to school in 2012.

SPECIAL EVENING WITH PAT BAGLEY

Join us for this special evening of inspiration and action to learn how YOU can fuel this fire of HOPE and GOOD by supporting #SheBelongs now ahead of the first ever Global HOPE Cup in Madrid, Spain in June 2025 and into the future as we grow the movement globally to impact 500,000 girls by 2030.

This event features:

An in-person conversation with Pat Bagley discussing his 2012 Malala work and its significance in today's world, 13 years later.
A private screening of the short version of the #SheBelongs documentary (critically acclaimed and beautifully human).

A chance to become part of the movement—whether through partnership, donation, or support.
