Because I Am A Girl

“Anyone who resorts to killing, harming or kidnapping children to satisfy distorted interests is more than not qualified a human being.” How to rephrase the quoted sentence without a slightest hint of suggestion that it is less sinful harming another adult human being?

Once, during a conversation with few Christian friends, I put forth a question,

“Why women play so little role in any biblical or religious texts?” This question, if not billions, must have on hundreds of millions’ lips through out the ages; yet this prompted anomaly amounts a bare number on a scale of vastness in reality. Woman and man, they are inseparable. Man and woman, they are indispensable. In the most basic sense, women and men are equal. Women bear and care for our children, bearing and caring for the future generations, deserving tons of respect added atop equality. It is never cliché to repeat over and over the great role of one a mother, a wife, a working woman and a woman because it is a role no man can do.

Of course, there are great men and loving fathers, I beg here for forgiveness if I have sounded as if every man was cast aspersion upon. I am truly innocent at any slightest or possible hint of disparaging the opposite gender, but make no mistake I believe Boko Haram, or any terrorist groups targeting women, is cowardice and inferior.

Social discrimination, restricted education, commodification, subjects of cruel customs, grievous victimization…., when will all these end? When will these terrorist groups stop inflicting grief and sufferings upon the women? Pray hard for the hundreds of school girls kidnapped in Nigeria, I pray hard.

Sigh, what the world has become? This video is uploaded by Plan International on Feb 16, 2009. This video deeply touches my soul, informs me upon unfair fortune.
