I am a GIRL,
Don’t cut my wings as I want to fly,
Don’t stop me from flying,
Don’t stop me from trying.
I am a GIRL,
I am unstoppable if you let me be,
I can do anything if you set me free,
I can conquer the world only if I can be me.
I am a GIRL,
I feel like a burden whom nobody wants,
I am not a burden,
I am a flower waiting to bloom.
I am a Girl,
I may be small but my dreams are big,
I don’t want to stop cos you want me to,
Give me freedom, give me courage and see me fly.
This post is for #Internationalgirlchildday. I have already written few posts earlier also related to the same topic but wanted to write today again as its ‘Girl child day.’ These initiatives and all such days have been started as an initiative for all matters related to a girl child. These initiatives raise the awareness among people all over the world about the importance of girl’s promotion. It increases the contribution of the girls in decision making processes through the active support of all the people around the world.
We should celebrate these days to promote the girl’s position in the society to make their living better. It is very important to remove different types of social discrimination and exploitation faced by girls in our society. it is sad to see even the educated society still believing in all the old norms and not giving girls their due. What are your thoughts about the same? Let me know in the comments.
This #InternationalGirlChildDay lets pledge to make a change and stand up for what is right.

Very thought provoking Deepa, I would really be happy the day when women would actually welcome girl children, that is the day when women would feel that their child would be safe in this world.
