Dear Friend,
In this report we would like to share with you the feedback we received from children following our girls’ empowerment trainings:
“I was thinking a 15 or 16-year-old person could marry. But I learned that everyone is a child until the age of 18.”
“Nobody can judge or hurt us. Now I know these mean violence and abuse.”
“Nobody can give me a hug or a kiss unless I want. If I feel in danger, I can scream and ask for help.”
“Girls can also play soccer. Not just playing soccer, they can also play volleyball and basketball, they can ride bicycles and dance.”
“Transformations that girls go through during adolescence are not shameful or disgraceful. Because our bodies belong to us.”
“It makes me feel good to come together with other girls in the same age group as myself and to know everyone goes through similar processes during the Pandemic.”
As Support to Life, we believe that strong, confident girls can transform societies. They just need concrete opportunities to realize their potential and safe zones.
However, with donations we received to our project in the last 6 months, we could access only 3 girls.
We are on a long track and have a lot to do but we know we are not alone. You can support life by donating in our project or sharing with your community.
