'Fearless Girl' unveiled in front of NYSE, moved away from 'Charging Bull'
• The statue of the "Fearless Girl" has been moved to her new home in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
• The original spot bears only a plaque with the outline of footprints. Visitors are encouraged to "stand for her" there.

The statue of the "Fearless Girl" has been moved to her new home in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
Her reinstallation was unveiled Monday in a premarket ceremony attended by top executives of the NYSE and State Street Global Advisors.
The sculpture, sponsored by State Street Global Advisors, had been staring face to face with Wall Street's iconic "Charging Bull" statue in Bowling Green park since March 2017. It was removed last month after complaints that it had distracted from the bull. The original spot bears only a plaque with the outline of footprints. Visitors are encouraged to "stand for her" there.
State Street commissioned the statue to call attention to the role of women in corporate America and its "gender diversity index" fund. The piece was created by Kristen Visbal and installed in March 2017 on the same plaza as Arturo Di Modica's "Charging Bull" bronze sculpture to celebrate "International Women's Day."
