Because I am a Girl I ask…people for help.

Because I am a Girl I believe…that anything is possible if you believe it enough.

Because I am a Girl I hope…that my voice will be heard.

Because I am a Girl I wonder…what everybody else is thinking.

Because I am a Girl I dream…of having choice.

Because I am a Girl I remember…what makes other people happy.

Because I am a Girl I like…doing things in my own unique way.

Because I am a Girl I dislike…when my opinion isn’t asked for.

Because I am a Girl I feel…that anything is possible.

Because I am a Girl I celebrate…that I can make a difference if I choose 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.
