Because I am a Girl I ask… many questions, all the time!!

Because I am a Girl I believe… in change. I think change is always possible if people don’t give up fighting for it.

Because I am a Girl I hope… that people who are more fortunate never stop helping those who are not.

Because I am a Girl I wonder… why I was so lucky to be given the life I have and why other girls were born into an utterly different life.

Because I am a Girl I dream… of having it all! The great career, perfect family life etc. Then I realise I am so very privileged to even dream of those things.

Because I am a Girl I remember… a wonderful childhood and wish girls all over the world could say the same.

Because I am a Girl I like… the feeling of having a great female support system. My girlfriends, mother and female cousins are always there when I need them and knowing that, gives me strength.

Because I am a Girl I dislike… injustice. I feel very protective if I see someone being treated unfairly and I always feel that I should do something about it.

Because I am a Girl I feel… strong and able to take on the world! (…some days).

Because I am a Girl I… can do anything I set my mind to!

to you to be a girl

  • Because I am a Girl...

    I have a much higher chance of making headline news - as a victim of rape, assault or murder. But because I am a girl I have the innate strength to carry on challenging the threats to my freedom.

  • Because I am a Girl...

    I rise to the challenge, and do the unexpected. I raise my voice so that I can always be heard. I push myself even when the little voices in my head are saying, sure you dont belong here, who do you think you are. I struggle on and dont alllow society to to label or box me because of the sex I am, the colour of my skin, my sexuality, my spiritual beliefs. I am, and I will.
