Recently, Serena Williams joined hands with Secret for a campaign, Just #WatchMe. It is for a social cause of helping girls who are underprivileged and cannot pursue their liking for sports. The campaign focuses especially on girls as they faces tougher challenges as compared to boys.
The 23-time Major winner spoke on this and stated, “The campaign is focused on improving the statistics of young girls dropping out of sports at twice the rate of young boys, due to, as you mentioned, issues surrounding underfunding and underrepresentation. [It’s all about] empowering young women athletes to keep going in the sports they love, and it really encourages everyone to show up and “just watch” these athletes.”
