Dear Supporter,
Today is Giving Tuesday.
As Support to Life, we have been working to empower children and especially girls since 2005.
We did facilitate two woman or girls participation to one of our information or awareness raising sessions last 6 months. It is too less.
We want to remind you of some of the feedback we received from 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.
Please share this project in your social media and support the girls and women empowerment.
