Dear young lady,
As we commemorate the International Day of the Girl Child, I am reminded of how far we have come in fighting for the rights and empowerment of girls around the world. However, the reality remains that life won't always be easy for you and other girls like you.
You may face challenges and obstacles that are unique to your gender and circumstances, but I want you to know that you have the opportunity and choice to make life better for yourself and for those around you.
You have the power to educate yourself, to dream big, and to work hard towards achieving your goals. You can be a trailblazer in your community by speaking up for what is right, and by advocating for the rights of girls and women.
Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot achieve greatness or that your gender is a hindrance. Remember that you are strong, capable, and deserving of every opportunity that life has to offer.
On this special day, I urge you to celebrate the progress that has been made in advancing girls' rights and to continue fighting for gender equality. Your voice and your actions matter, and together, we can create a better world for girls everywhere.
Sincerely,Foka Sherifatu Kinyuy
