Planning today for a better tomorrow

Planning is an art of thinking through,identifying and coming up with a good,appropriate and adoptable plan of action.Planning for adolescent girls empowerment is one art that requires a holistic strategy for successful and sustainable impact.

Why should we plan today for a better tomorrow of our girls ?
Girls are our upcoming mothers and women of any particular nation,they are the leaders we all are looking upon.In Africa today,girls are the most marginalized members of any given society or community.All existing cultural and religious norms,values and believes affect our women and girls negatively ,talk about female genital mutilation,early marriages,gender based discrimination and inequality.

We need to join hands and eradicate all this ideologies,practices,norms and believes that pull back our women.For any country to brag of development,women and girls have to be empowerment and involved in all stages of development.

All stakeholder in development world!let listen and hear they cry of our mothers,sisters and aunt.Let act.
share too

Women form the Pillars of the society, they are the backbone of the family, the very core unit of the society. They nature us from chldhood to our adult lives. Yet they are the most disadvantaged in our communities today.

From a very age, the girl child, womens rights should be protected and their interests kept close to heart.

By using such forums to bring to light their concerns and the issues that affect them making it possible to address them and find solutions to address their socio-economic status.

We can only thank you for your care and concern.

By planning for tomorrow, we ensure that corrective measures are taken for ignored issues and overlooked issues that continue to plague our women today, which everybody else takes for granted.

We plan for a better future! A future where we all have the same access to opportunities and benefits presented by such opportunities.

A future where marginalization is a thing of the past that only So that our daughters can have the same oportunities as our sons for they are the same.

Lets plan a future for our children.
