Because I am a Girl I ask… that you treat women as you would like to be treated yourself.

Because I am a Girl I believe… in the innate goodness in people.

Because I am a Girl I hope… that equality is achieved in my lifetime.

Because I am a Girl I wonder… why we are not ashamed of inequality and poverty.

Because I am a Girl I dream… and snore.

Because I am a Girl I remember… my mother and her mother and her mother…

Because I am a Girl I like… people with passion, principles and ideas for making a difference.

Because I am a Girl I dislike… not paying my way.

Because I am a Girl I feel… loved and loving.

Because I am a Girl I… want others to feel free and powerful.

  • 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.
