Go Get A Girl Child Educated
I woke up today thinking on the possible ways to celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child 2019 .
The truth be told, Education is needed for development and improvement of a nation. It empowers people and strengthens the nation. It ensures equality, making it possible for all to come out of poverty by themselves.
If we carefully look around us, we will all notice that we have girl child suffering around us, we have them homeless , hungry and being maltreated.
Honestly speaking , It is painful walking or driving round our cities, villages and seeing our young girls passing through pains and we end up ignoring them.
Can we help?
Yes, we can, I mean we can truthfully help.
Girl- child education has been identified as the backbone of the advanced societies of the world. Girl-child education has impact in the Nigerian society
Recently i was asked by some youths in Asaba, Delta State Nigeria regarding Girl child and my reply was that, no girl child deserves to be suffering, none deserves half education, none deserves child marriage, teenage pregnancy, sexual exploitation economic exclusion child labor and child trafficking
At the end of my discussion, a young girl stood up and said "Uncle Ossai Ovie Success, Thank you for your words of transformation ".
As a youth, I am passionate and will keep speaking about the rights of girls, education, nutrition, legal rights and medicine and never give up spreading awareness about eliminating gender abnormalities against girls around the world.
Irrespective of our challenges as a people and as a nation, we can actually pick girl child from the street .
This message is for us all, It is time we all contribute to the growth of the girl child in our communities, states and countries.
Instead of wasting money on irrelevant things, let's make good use of our money in changing the life of a girl child .
Remember
Girls are pillars of society. Continuation of life is not possible without them. A small girl child can be a good daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother in the future. If we kill the girls before birth or do not take care of them after birth then we will not get a loving daughter, sister, wife or mother in the future.
In case you don't know.
The theme of the International Day of the Girl Child 2019 is "GirlForce: Unscripted and Unstoppable". Women have led global movements on issues ranging from sexual and reproductive health rights to equal pay. Today, most of the girls are attending school and completing their studies. Now, they are focusing on career. They are not being forced to marry at a young age. Several movements are organised for adolescent girls and tackling issues related to child marriage, education inequality, gender-based violence, climate change, self-esteem, and girls' rights to enter places of worship or public spaces during menstruation. Girls are proving that they are Unscripted and Unstoppable. This year’s theme also celebrates the achievements by, with for girls since the adoption of Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
