Dear girlies,
Did you know that over 1/4 of the Girl's population in the world DON'T go to school because they CAN'T; not because they're drop out or because their too cool for school but because they can't, it's illegal or it's looked down upon. You know why? Beacuse they know we can make a difference.
I am wating 'Girls Rising' on BBC right now, and it pains me to see what these girls in Africa and Peru and Afghanistan are going through, but then I see how they make a change and overcome these difficulties.
We think we're in a modern world, right? But how can it be so modern if almost or even more than 900,000,000 girls can't do what they want and don't have their rights.
They can't even get married to who they want, much less WHEN they want. I'd die if this 20 year old man came and told me he was going to marry me and I would have to do it even though he was a total starnger and the fact that I'm only 13!
50% of female death is NOT rape, HIV/AIDS, kidnap, or any of that; it's child birth. Imagine having a baby at FOURTEEN!
Girls need their freedom, but we have to fight for it. The littlest thing can make a change. I Dare you to do something in your community to show girl power and to give hope to the millions of girls out there that don't have it. Don't ignore this, because girls are the future. Girls can make a difference. Males have run this for way too long and they've made a mess of it. I'm pretty sure some females have made messes but the majority of it is males. We are not faultless but we have not been given a chance to prove that we can make this world better!
Well, I just had a 'motivational speaker' moment :-D
Girl power song of today is 'Warrior' by Demi Lovato
PEACE!!!!
