Because I am a Girl I ask…that every child gets the opportunity to develop to their full potential
Because I am a Girl I believe…the world is a better place where there is respect for everyone.
Because I am a Girl I hope…that all children will get a fair chance
Because I am a Girl I wonder…about the opportunities for all children to develop.
Because I am a Girl I dream…of a world where everyone is respected and treated as an equal.
Because I am a Girl I remember…that diversity can make a real difference
Because I am a Girl I like…sport, drama, literature and fun.
Because I am a Girl I dislike…lack of respect and not treating everyone fairly.
Because I am a Girl I feel…that each small step to equality and respect makes a difference.
Because I am a Girl I celebrate…the future opportunities for all children.
