"SaY" it with a Poem: How free are our girls?
Updated: Aug 3
Do they have the freedom to choose what they want to do in life? Do they have the freedom to able to walk in the streets without being catcalled or harassed? Do they have the freedom to choose their own partner or not get married at all? Do they have the freedom to speak up, loud and clear, and not be afraid of naysayers telling them that women should be “docile and gentle”? Or, Do they have the freedom to rise above stereotypes that tell them what a girl can do or cannot?
This 74th Independence Day, let us pledge to work hard to give #OurDaughters their Freedom!
Real Girls Support Each Other!
