Empower the girl child!
what is it that comes to my mind when i think about the girl child? Alot i could say! Alot! Me having being one of them, it saddens me how the girl child comes out as! well, sometimes we enjoy it we cant say we dont( esp for attention lovers! like me! ha!). Depending on which part of the world you grow up in and the way communities have valued the girl child.
I was over the moon when saudi agreed to send the female team to the olympics(hands up men! good job well done). To believe that a woman's place is somewhere, at home, taking care of husband and children while the men explore the world is a totally unfair thing! Imagine the pressure on those women, to shine and show the world that they deserved that after fighting for long! And down in history it will go, that women did participate in the olympics and am soo glad it starts from here!
I am glad our mothers fought for some things, but woe unto us, we are still fighting to liberate ourselves. To know that we can do something! we can win something! We can say something and be heard! some of us are not fighting so hard for this but others are and i support them every inch of the way. I just watched a video the other day where they shot a woman to death for prostituting! they thought she was soo evil she should be killed? while all the men who got her services and probably are the ones who enjoyed most, are walking free and still buying from them who havent been shot yet! How unfair #oohitmakesmesoangry#, Every person has a brain and they have their own decisions to make, so when u put a bullet on this one be sure to put two on the other one!
The girl child right from day 1 is considered delicate and she is! she is a jewel, a beautiful thing, yet many of them don't grow up thinking so! And why? because many things said to us are so binding, When i was growing up, most girls from my granpas village never wore trousers! so when i went there on holidays and wore my trousers, they thought i was not being taught well, It was like, why are u wearing trousers like a boy? and most children playing with me would ask, and insist their parents say trousers are for boys and thats it! n now when i meet with them! they are all in trousers! why? because they grew up and learnt there is nothing wrong with trousers anyway!
Female genital mutilation is such a big problem in some communities, sorry to say that girls even have it in thread to ensure no one will think of you till your marriage time, which even you will still be a child and the whole process of how its done is just so sickening! omg!! some cultures!!, i respect different cultures but dont totally agree with some things they practise! How amazed i was that they burn down breasts with heated stone to ensure they dont come out early!!, i mean a woman sees a 10yr old with breasts and insists they were not supposed to grow then and because men will notice her, we hav to burn them back! how painful was that when i watched it and i literally felt the pain! sick issues in society!! Who dictates when they grow or not? it isnt anybody's fault that they are maturing earlier than others. I am so blessed that nothing really was practiced that causes soo much pain to a girl, i think of it and it kills me, so to know someone somewhere has gone through it gives me chills.
We are a beautiful gender! We have big heart and we think about everyone around us! why then have we allowed people to step on us! why can a man walk at nite and you cant? why can a man hold high office and you cant? who said you cant?! This world has alot of opportunities and we can grab them, with motivation and knowing that we can do it! Whatever we been before, if we are here, its because, we passed through it! and Guess what, we survived! look at you now! we can do it! Others have done it! now get out there, push and do it! there is no better feeling than that! lets chase our dreams!
