I would like to state here clearly that this initiative or Campaign is not a feminist movement, It is not in anyway seeking equality or superiority with the male counterpart. It is solely concerned with the welfare of the girl child, it has been my dream from the beginning to fight for her because she had no one to fight for her and most especially because I have also been a victim as a girl child.
The girl child is a necessity, if given the chance she could change the world. I am particularly concerned with the “she-child” because she ends up as a woman or even a mother, then maybe a mother-in-law and like that…inevitably she becomes important as a woman if treated appropriately and efficiently as a child she could move mountains, we have Margret thatcher to prove, we have Mother Theresa to prove, and as a mother she could do even greater, you know a woman gave birth to Adolf Hitler and a woman also gave birth to Nelson Mandela, they didn’t just fall from the sky.
The girl child is a “major fragment of the globe”(Sola Owonibi’s “Homeless not Hopeless”) no matter how little or tiny she is,she is very important, I repeat SHE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
This is a medium used to reach out to the world explaining or sharing the experiences of the girl child particularly in Nigeria since that’s my geographical location. Telling the world she is broken even though she seems okay, telling the world she needs help and needs to be reached out to, in any part of the world please don’t ignore her, don’t walk away, please make a move, make a step share her story and I am sure help would get to her.
I am using this opportunity to call out to women, ladies and even girls that feel they have a story to tell, to get in touch with me so the world can learn and probably help them.
And if any male specie feels he has a story to tell too he his also welcomed.
As the year begins to unfold we hope to reach out to these girls with the available resources we have, so your support in whatever form would be appreciated. And for those that wish to stand with or join this movement, please share this post and blog on any social media using the hash tag #Istandwiththegirlchild
